Details of Event
He was injured by being knocked into the upcast shaft, by the cover, lifted by the cage. He was prevented from falling into the shaft by his feet, which were caught between the cover and the pithead plates. Apparently the engineman went away without having received the usual signal. He died on the 11th February from his injuries.
