Narrative

EE was repairing a high stopping that was damaged from an earlier explosives detonation. The stopping started to fall towards EE, and EE reacted by jumping off the ladder. EE landed wrong and EE's right ankle turned outwards. EE was transported outside where we iced and bandaged EE. On 1-8-2024 EE was taken to a medical facility and after x-rays was diagnosed with a broken ankle.
