## Narrative

When an underground mechanic's foot slipped off the step as they were getting off a haul truck, they caught themselves using both hands and their other foot. They felt their right bicep pop as a result of doing this. They might have a torn ligament. Until they see an orthopedic physician the next week, they were put on light duty.
