[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 285246, member: 2976"] Hope the bloke is ok. Happened to a mate of mine near Rubyvale. He and his mining partner got out just in time when their shaft experienced a partial collapse. After it had settled down, mining partner wanted to go back down but my mate wouldn't. They decided to call it a day and come back and inspect it in the morning. When they returned next morning, they discovered that the whole lot had come down some time after they had left. Mining can be a risky business - I got cleaned up in a hole less than 5 feet deep. Was lucky to get out of that one with just a few cracked ribs and collar bone - my cllar bone still "clicks" occasionally to this day. [/QUOTE]
