Re: Drill Pipe Explodes Killing Floor Hand
I have been around rigs for quite some time. In this video, the floor hand was placing what is called a mud catcher, this is used to keep mud from spewing all over the place when tripping out pipe. That explosion is called a blow out, this happens when there is a sudden increase in down hole pressure, This poor guy didn't have a chance to escape. Usually the pipe doesn't burst though, This rarely happens.
