November 1, 2012 NY · Metal/Non-Metal drill operator Fatality · MACHINERY
Northeast Solite Corp · Caught in, under or between running or meshing objects

The driller apparently attempted to load drill pipe into the carousel while the drill head was rotating. It appears a strap the driller was holding became entangled around the drill pipe after the drill pipe threaded into the drill head and rotated.
