Narrative

An employee was stepping off the bottom rung of a lowered scissor lift when his left foot slipped. He spun to the right, stumbled, and fell onto his right side on the concrete floor. He attempted to break his fall with his right hand and forearm, and his femur impacted directly onto his walkie talkie. The employee suffered a displaced fracture of his right femur and hip, as well as a fractured right radius.
