Deceased was making his inspection of the working faces in a longwall working, when he reached one of the roadheads a brushing shut, above where He was, exploded, and he was buried by the debris blown down. The brusher who lighted the shot failed to adequately protect the place in order to warn anyone likely to approach by way of the face.
