| Description | |
|
|
An offtakes lad, almost 16 years of age, who had attended some safety classes but not sufficient to qualify for a badge, was killed at Leasingthorne Colliery, Durham. As a main and tail set of 42 tubs left a landing, lie was seen by another lad to be illegally riding on the main rope. After the set had passed, he was found dead in the five feet clear space on the side of the haulage road some 21 yards outbye from the landing points. The road was 12 feet wide and six feet high and it seemed probable that the lad had slipped off the rope or tub. Death was due to a fracture of the skull and the injury might have been minimized had the lad worn a safety hat.
