Well being an ex rig worker myself I can tell you snorting Loritabs in the doghouse is a favorite for way to many rig workers.Thats the reason I quit love the job but its not worth dying over. With that said I sure hope that wasnt the case here and he has a speedy recovery.

If you have never worked or been around oil wells then you do not know the dangers. I grew up working in the oil fields with my father, I have seen machinery cut off fingers, i have seen hands frozen to steel pipeline, i have seen pipe wreches break and fly through the air at excessive speeds while everyone is hunkered to the ground praying to not get hurt. As to the post about the "pill accident"... let me tell you anyone who would attempt to perform the tasks required messed up is a complete fool. I know the people from rino oil company, my brothers have worked for them in the past. They work very hard at what they do and they DRUG TEST every employee that they have randomly. It is possiable to get clothing tangled into machinery when it's freezing cold outside and they have on layers and layers of clothes. People who don't know what it is like to work in the oil fields don't know what real work it until they have done the job that those guys perform.
