Narrative

The EE was grabbing a wooden pallet from the stack that it was in, when EE tripped over the forks of a fork lift. The forks were lowered and resting on the ground. The miner lost footing, falling to the ground and tried to catch themselves with a hand, thus hurting a wrist. No one witnessed the fall only seeing EE getting up off the ground.
