Narrative

Employee was stepping out of battery transport when he struck his head on the mine roof, knocking his hard hat off. As he reached out to grab for his hard hat his momentum carried him forward and he lost his balance. His feet caught on the lip of the deck and he fell out of the cab. As he fell he attempted to catch himself with his right arm breaking his Humerus.
