What happened
Crew was using the stairchair going down about 6 steps we did use the track but my partner did not have a top handle for better support. The porch steps were wet and slippery my partner who was at the head lost her grip due to tracking system going fast instead of me who was at the feet allowing my patient to fall i held the patients position on the 4th step. i must have maneuvered wrong and i am now experiencing pain to the middle of my lower back.
