Details of Event
He was coming out-bye when 12 full tubs ran back from the pass-bye down the ending and fatally crushed him against the side, of the road. If a drag had been used behind the tubs the accident would not have happened, but a drag was not provided, and stop blocks were not fixed. The ending had an inclination of 1 in 27.
