As we were walking toward our seats, Matt tripped on a step and fell to his knees. Matt said he wasn't hurt and there were no apparent injuries. Although Matt said he was "ok", I took him into the men's room and checked his knees (no redness or marks) and told him to make sure he reports to me if he feels any pain. Basic Health & Safety #3
