2025 HiPo#04 Supporting leg dropped during lifting
The operation was to install the support Legs for the Rig Floor. After installing the support Leg on the Off-Driller side of the Rig Floor, the support Leg on the Driller side was lifted from a Horizontal to a Vertical position using the Crane.  A Clamp was attached to the support Leg, with a Web-sling connected to the Clamp.  At 20:30 hours, as the support Leg was being lifted into the Vertical position, it disconnected from the Clamp and fell to the ground between the Banksman and the Floorman, who was holding the tagline. No injuries occurred during this incident.
