Narrative

An employee climbed a portable ladder and was fixing the motor on an overhead door. One of the portable ladder's feet was inadvertently placed on the lip of the overhead door. The employee activated the switch to open the door. As the door opened, the ladder tipped backward and he fell. The ladder fell on top of his left leg, breaking it in several places.
