EE's foot slipped getting into the skid steer. The downward momentum caused him to lose his balance due to not having a full three points of contact. He reached for the roof of the equipment but was unable to grab firmly to the roof. He twisted around and fell to ground while his foot was behind the bucket. He broke his tibia and fibia in the fall.
