Details of Event
Fall of roof from two slips in a heading where he was gobbing stone got down by a shot in the ripping. He apparently removed two props from under the stone as a matter of convenience and continued working under it recklessly or did not carefully examine the place. He worked alone in the stall, and was found under the stone by the examiner when on his rounds an hour or two later.
