Narrative

EE was hanging and stenciling big bags. EE had just hung a bag and was turning to their right to get the stenciling equipment and the toe of their boot got caught in a gap beneath the bagger. As EE continued turning to their right their left knee twisted in the direction they were turning while their left foot stayed in the forward position. This resulted in twisting their knee.
