An employee pulled a stand of drill pipe back and had just finished pushing it back into a "finger" before securing it with rope. The driller was coming down with top drives and blocks. A gust of wind blew the employee's secondary retention into the Kelly hose clamp. As a result, the top drive pulled the cable and the employee down into the steel frame of the derrick board. The employee's left hip and right femur were fractured.
