Details of Event
Deceased had been attempting to get down some coal, but failing to do so he reset a sprag and commenced to hole the coal further under. The overhanging coal displaced a sprag and fell on him. His operations under the coal in addition to his previous attempt to get the coal down had liberated the coal.
