Narrative

As a dozer operator was dismounting dozer 327 at the end of EE's shift, EE failed to use the workable power ladder installed and used the iron grab irons to dismount. When EE got to the left push arm, EE jumped to the hard ground where there were small baseball size rocks. Upon landing EE twisted EE's left ankle and twisted EE's left knee falling on EE's right shoulder.
