Details of Event
A piece of unsupported undercut stone fell from a vertical joint forming the right side of the heading, and crushed him against the left side. He had reopened the mine some five weeks prior to the date of the accident and had been in too great a hurry to get stone instead of first devoting some time to making the place safe.
