Piney Creek Limited Partnership · Fall onto or against objects

He was washing off the bulldozer with a hose. When he was climbing down he stepped on the wet push arm to the blade. His feet slipped between the push arm & the frame causing him to fall sideways to the ground. As he fell he hit his left fibula (leg) on the push arm & suffered a hairline fracture.
