Deceased worked on a longwall face where two ‘lypes’ ran parallel with the face; he was instructed to work from one end and to take a ‘cut’ coal with him and timber as he went instead, however, he worked in front and when the coal was taken off, the ‘lypes’ were relieved and the roof fell upon him.
