A foreman was killed at Brownrigg Quarry, Cumberland. Deceased, and two other men, were preparing to move a 15 cwt. jib crane on the top of the quarry to a new position, about 12 yards distant. They removed half of the loading from one leg of the crane, nearly all off the other, and lifted a stone weighing about 4 cwts. off the latter by means of the crane. They were swinging the stone over the pit of the quarry to the new position for the crane, when a gust of wind overbalanced the crane. It fell into the quarry, carrying deceased, who was pushing at the jib, along with it. He died three days later from internal injuries. He should have lowered the jib and removed the loading by hand.
