## Narrative

IE was descending the stairs from the cab of a 988G end loader. IE had his left hand on the hand rail he misjudged the last step, lost his balance, and began to fall backwards. He was able to briefly make contact with the handrail at the rear of the machine, which changed the direction of his fall, causing him to fall to the ground on his right shoulder.
