Details of Event
While passing up the main slant and within 15 yards of the surface he was struck by two empty trams which had run wild from the surface landing the trams not having been shackled to the remaining five trams to which the rope was attached. The two trams were thrown off the rails at the catch points, but travelled about 12 yds further.
