An employee was grabbing samples on a railcar. As he stood up, he slipped and fell chest downward, then began to slide on the downward slope of the car. He then attempted to turn his body and grab something but went over the side of the car. The webbing attached to the locking snap hook on his safety harness D-ring popped, and he felt a jerk before landing on the ground feet first and suffering an injury.
