Narrative

EE was climbing down off of a coal screen. He extended his legs over side and was unable to reach floor. His feet were approx.6"" from touching. He let himself drop the 6"". His left leg touched first. When this occurred he felt a sharp pain and a pop in his left knee. He stated there was no slip/trip hazard. An examination by a physician found he had a medial meniscus tear.
