Narrative

EE was using a slate bar to pull pin from a rubrail on C/M. When the pin came out, the rubrail struck him in the bend of his leg (ankle/foot), knocking him to the ground. He was complaining of pain in his right leg, foot/ankle. The rubrail was bent just slightly making the pin difficult to pull.
