Details of Event
While deceased was walking down a slightly dipping road and when opposite the horizontal return wheel of an endless rope haulage placed about 18 inches above the pavement he slipped on one of the rails or on a wet sleeper and fell on his back and his feet flew up, and although the top and side of the wheel was well fenced one of his feet went under the fence and was caught between the rope and wheel and cut off.
