## Narrative

Helper was climbing into a pipe truck. He put his right foot on the first step, grabbed the handles to help pull himself up. When he lifted himself off the ground he put weight on his right foot. His right foot  wasn't straight with the rest of his body which caused his knee to twist as he put weight on it.
