The employee was on a platfrom 9 ft high helping another employee when he said he "forgot where he was at," stepped backwards and fell to the lower deck. As he hit the ground all of his weight went into his right leg breaking it in 2 places and crushing his heel bone. As he fell he injured his left bicep with 3 scratches and bruising.
