Falls in Mine (b) Falls of Roof – He had run a loaded hutch from the face to the edge of a small fall which had taken place on the east side level and was filling the fallen coal into an empty hutch he had brought from the top of the haulage brae when a second fall occurred, a piece of coal weighing three tons knocking him against the hutch he was filling. His ribs were fractured and pressed on to the heart causing death.
