Narrative

An employee was getting off the roof of a single story house using a ladder. While getting on the ladder from the roof, he stepped on the first course tile adjacent to the ladder and it broke, causing him to lose his balance and fall about 10 feet to the driveway. He fractured his left femur, requiring hospitalization and surgery.
