EE was standing on the platform of a Komatsu FEL when he was attacked by a wasp. EE was holding onto the handhold swatting at the wasp when he lost his balance and fell ~6' to the ground suffering contusions to his hip and back and arm strain from holding onto the handhold. The post-accident drug test results revealed that the EE tested positive for THC and opiates.
