## Narrative

After washing drill, driller had trouble with his AC unit.  After finishing the hole he was drilling, he climbed up to check on the problem.  On his way down with his left foot on the track of the drill, his right pants leg snagged on a piece of metal causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.  He landed on his left arm and shattered the bone just below the shoulder.
