Details of Event
It was deceased's duty to accompany journeys of empty tubs along a length of 300 yards of roadway. At half distance the road inclined sufficiently for tubs to run by gravity, and it was usual to take off the clip, and allow the tubs to gravitate. Deceased appeared to have run in front to insert lockers in the wheels if necessary, and to have tripped and, fallen in front of the set, or alternatively to have been riding on the rope. He was found dead between the first and second tub of the out-coming loaded set.
