Details of Event
Deceased was getting on the cage at an inset and gave a signal of 4 to the engineman, who interpreted it as the signal 2 repeated, which meant "lower". He accordingly lowered thinking someone was acting as onsetter for the man in the cage, and deceased who was just getting up and expected some seconds grace, was precipitated down the shaft.
