## Narrative

The employee was inside the shop turning the head on a starter.  He completed the task and climbed up on the tailgate of Truck #77 and was bending down to lift the starter into the bed of his truck so that he may take it back to the pit and complete the maintenance task.  While doing so his left foot slipped and his leg moved forward.  He heard a pop in his left leg.
