Details of Event
He was standing against the side of the quarry when a piece of clay fell from 10 feet above and knocked him down. His head came in contact with the tram rails and his skull was fractured. If he had examined the place he would in all probability have seen that the clay was unsafe, and steps might have been taken to remove it.
