Details of Event
Deceased was travelling up all endless haulage rope road on his way to work. He was trying to pass five empty tubs when a set of three full ones rail away, owing to the clips slipping. Deceased was caught and run over by all the tubs, being dragged 20 yards. The refuge holes were on the empty road side, but the empty tubs prevented him getting into the one he was opposite. A back clip will be used in future.
