I thought a pipe stretcher would have been a lot bigger the first time I came offshore.
Turns out it fits in a pelican case

Bring a carton of smokes,an extra toothbrush and a bunch of newspapers if you want to make friends fast.

I dropped the pipe stretcher one time when I was up at the crown checking the water table. Glad no one got hurt.

Don't forget the 55 gallon drum of contractor steam.

I have an uncle that worked on a production platform. As he and the others exited, a guy that was about 6'6 didn't duck low enough. Uncle said it took the top of his head off and splattered my uncle with blood. They brought counselors out there but my uncle was all nonchalant about it saying shite happens sometimes. I would have lost my mind.

I've always heard that people ate like kings offshore and could pretty much order whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. I've always been surprised by that.

I would have puked and shite myself.

So would I. I've been lucky to have never witnessed a death or serious injury while on rigs. Both offshore and land. But I know people who have been killed or lost a finger or leg. Most of them 20 or more years ago when it was much more dangerous. It's pretty safe now as long as you aren't a complete idiot.

Unfortunately, the Bozo factor can't be eradicated.

Same. I've been lucky to not see anything worse than a sliced open finger from a knife and a guy crying like a baby curled up on the ground with a kidney stone.
Last year on the opposite hitch a guy on one of the work boats lost a few fingers in a motor that wasn't locked out.
Saw the pics but that's it

A good friend of mine had his pinky finger ripped off by a spinning chain.
Before he went to college, my dad got the end of his finger cut off by some casing.
Also know a guy who lost his leg by riding the drill line down from the monkey board. He rode it all the way and the driller didn't see him in time and his leg got caught between the drill line and drum. Not very smart. I'm still not sure how or why he did it.

I'm glad I don't work in drilling.
Production is a lot safer and easier work.

I was on a job once when a guy committed suicide on a supply boat. They brought him to the platform to fly him in. The medic went to the boat to perform CPR then rode the crew basket back with the body. It was pretty messed up, but we still found ourselves trying not to laugh because the medic was morbidly obese and hanging on the the side of the crew basket had it tilted a good 30 degrees. We were just waiting for the body to slide off and fall into the gulf.
The really messed up part is they lifted him to the heliport and left him there until the chopper showed up

Damn. That is crazy.
Only job I would want on a boat is the captain.
That would be a sweet arse gig but I think it's tough to get into.
Been on the 350 foot blue dolphin when baker was out here for a frac job. Hung out in the wheelhouse with the capt. Amazing boat there. All dp3. He told me it would move more than 8 inch off its spot in anything less than 12 foot seas.
He had a huge motorized sliding chair with a joystick and computer screen that did everything
