Details of Event
Whilst jigging a full tub the roof collapsed over the landing plate, bringing down a bar having three props under it. There was a pronounced slip which threw an uneven weight on the bar canting it out. At least one other bar ought to have been set. The fall was 7 feet square and 6 feet thick.
