Details of Event
Deceased was returning to the pit bottom after a day’s work and took a tub from the empty road to the full road of the endless rope road. Getting into it at the top of a steep incline he travelled 650 yards, and was killed by the tub overturning and crushing his head. Other boys had warned him of the danger he was undertaking which warning he ridiculed.
