Narrative

Employee reported: He was attempting to unboard the operator's compartment of a Hitachi ZX370 trac-hoe. When climbing down from the cab, he lost the grip of the right hand-hold rail, allowing him to fall to the ground. He extended his left hand to break his fall. The weight of his body was applied to his left arm resulting in an impact fracture to the left forearm.
