Details of Event
Deceased went into a wheel room at the bottom of the shaft to get a plumber block, and when looking for it something fell on his head. He stooped to avoid it, and in doing so, inadvertently put his leg between the rope and the wheel, and in trying to extricate it his arm also became caught.
