Narrative

An employee was moving a fiberglass extension ladder along the side of a building when his foot became caught on a wooden stake protruding from the ground, causing him to fall. When he fell, his other foot became tangled between the first and second rungs of the ladder, and he suffered compound fractures of the right tibia and fibula.
