Narrative

Employee was walking down a flight of stairs and thought he had reached the bottom. He took a flat step but there were actually 2 more steps. This caused the employee to lose his balance and fall forward. He reached out and grabbed the top rail of the hand rail to break his fall. This caused his lower half to twist resulting in a burning sensation in his lower back.
