Narrative

The repairman was rebuilding a chute. He had to climb down the 54 inch chute to the bottom to take a measurement. While standing on the chute taking measurements, he started to slide forward because of dirty material lying on the chute steel. His left foot toe caught the side of the chute causing his foot to twist outward away from its normal position.
