Bison Materials LLC · Fall from machine

An EE was trying to remove a bit from drill pipe on John Henry drill. IE put a pipe wrench on the bit & spun the wrench so that it was touching the ground. IE stood on the pipe wrench to keep it from moving. EE began slowly rotating the drill pipe & pipe wrench sprung upward & threw IE sideways causing EE to land on EE's side on the ground.
