Details of Event
Whilst standing in a level waiting for a tub which was being filled in a posting only a few yards away, he was caught by a fall of roof, 5 feet long, an average width of 3 feet and 11 inches thick. The fall exposed a slip. A sudden weight, as the result of posting no doubt caused the fall.
