Narrative

EE was opening railcar covers for loading. As EE traveled length of the RR car, lanyard began to extend downward. Lanyard got stuck at attachment point of cable. Lanyard began to deploy. Once fully deployed, lanyard became taut, suddenly stopping EE as he traveled from one RR car to the next, causing EE to lose balance and fall (fell to pavement next to railcars).
