Description
Mrs. Reuter, a passenger on one of the appellees airplanes, was injured when, while disembarking therefrom, she tripped and fell. She testified; "As I started down the second step my heel grabbed and I felt myself pitching forward." It is important to note that she did not at the time see what caused her to fall, but later inspected a similar "Silver Falcon" plane and concluded that her heel caught on a metal strip on the step. Her shoes were new, red shoes with heels of a height of "four inches or approximately so" according to her testimony. In the accident the heel was torn loose and apart from the shoe. The step was part of a hydraulically operated ramp which retracts into the plane for flight.
