Narrative

Mechanic moved a D-11 dozer to a loading ramp for relocation into the mine work area. While dismounting the dozer, using foot cleats and grab handles on the way down, and on the final step onto the ground, the mechanic felt EE's ankle roll and made a ""pop"" sound. The ground was uneven below vegetation where the mechanic stepped off the dozer.
