Details of Event
Feeling ill he wished to leave the mine. The hitcher before allowing him to go up asked ‘if he felt unwell in his body,’ to which he said 'No.’ He was then allowed to go up alone and when the cage got about half way he fell out how or why cannot be known. Hand rails were duly provided and available in the cage for holding on by.
