Falls in Mine (b) Falls of Roof – He was loading a hutch in a small stoop when a fall of roof occurred injuring him to such an extent that he died about 30 minutes later. The area over which the roof fell was 6 ½ ft long by 4ft 5 in: two “trees” were reeled out by the fall. The place had been examined by the fireman threequarters previously and reported safe, but a quantity of coal had been removed in the interval.
