Awful. My ex's great-grandfather died in a mining accident, hit by a runaway tram underground - his son (ex's grandfather) was in the mine at the time. The inquest casually stated that someone had neglected to apply the brakes correctly. No recommendations for improving or checking the situation. The whole page was full of other inquests concerning other deaths in mines - I know we go on about Health & Safety gone mad, but at least deaths at work aren't regarded as an occupational hazard any more and people are held accountable.
