## Narrative

EE was climbing ladder and fell back on his rear end when slipping on the second rung.  His arms flew back and he contacted a protruding bolt on an elevator with his left forearm, causing a moderately smooth 3 inch long cut.  He went to Wyoming Medical Center to have it stitched and returned to work to finish his shift by his own choice.
