Employee was attempting to get in the cab of the D10T dozer and as he reached for his next hand hold he missed it and started to lose his balance. He pulled himself back forward with his left hand and grabbed for the hand hold again with his right hand. As his right hand caught hold he heard something pop and then felt a burning on his right side under his ribs.
