Details of Event
Deceased was unhooking a loaded tub at the foot of a short wheel brae dipping 1 in 3 when the empty tub ran back and struck him causing injuries to which he succumbed five days afterwards. The drawer at bras head appeared to have neglected to close the blocks or to turn the empty tub on the plates before uncoupling it.
