Details of Event
He was walking along an endless rope haulage road which was level at this point, the speed of the rope being 24 miles an hour. He met an empty set of five tubs which got off the way a few yards in front of him and he ran forward to get behind it. The front tub sided over and he was crushed by it against the pack.
