The second resulted in the death of another labourer. Several trucks of coal were being brought down a siding underneath the heapstead. As the third truck was being brought down the labourer was seen riding on the front footstep. The man who saw him told him it was dangerous for him to do this; but, notwithstanding the warning, he did the same thing when bringing down the fourth truck. He was seen again, and shouted to get off the truck. Instead of getting off he tried to lean round the corner of the truck, but was caught between it and an upright support of the heapstead and fatally injured. This is a case of a man simply throwing his life away.
