Deceased was alone and was walking outbye up an endless rope haulage road on an inclination of 1.5 inches to 1 yard. He was found in the full way, 42 yards on the inbye side of his safety lamp. A set of eight stone tubs had run amain, and were derailed 100 yards further down the incline. The tubs were attached to the rope from the yoke-hole in the middle of the tub end, and this had been torn out. The method of attachment was mechanically unsound.
