EE was standing on top of a conveyor. He slipped and began to slide down the conveyor on his back. As he was sliding down the conveyor, he tried to slow down the conveyor, he tried to slow his descent by putting his right foot up to brace himself on a metal wind strap. When his foot hit the wind strap, it broke his ankle and he continued sliding.
