Narrative

He was working on a gear box. He had to stand on a tail pulley guard to reach it, which is about 3.5 ft off the ground. While working on the gearbox he was bringing up a wrench and slipped as he was climbing the tail pulley guard. He landed on a rock as he fell which caused him to loose his balance and fall on another rock on his hip.
