Narrative

Two employees were in a drive terminal, pulling a new fuel line for an EPU to provide tertiary power for a ski lift. After unspooling the fuel line, one employee took a step backward and fell through the skinning (the floor of the terminal) to the ground about 12-15 feet below. The employee suffered a dislocated ankle and fractures to the lower tibia and fibula.
