## Narrative

Employee was exiting the cab of the drill. He stepped down on the 1st step, then missed the 2nd step & fell about 4', landing on the ground. He stated that he was unable to grab the handle in time to keep him from falling.  Other than failure to maintain 3-point contact, there appear to be no contributing factors causing the incident (moisture, wind, defective equipment, etc.).
