Details of Event
Deceased had to move the position of a longwall coal-cutting machine "jockey prop". He drew the prop when a large stone, which had evidently been held in place by it, fell from the roof on to him and killed him. The stone was triangular in shape, and fell from between slips on two sides and a breaker next the coal. The place was well propped and the stone fell from between the props.
