Re: Miner Falling To His Death
What is this,a suicide or an attempt at a stunt? What the hell was he doing dangling from the bottom instead of riding on the platform?

Re: Miner Falling To His Death
In this remote mining area there are no roads connecting the steep hillsides. Workers build a makeshift cableway powered by a motorized winch or crane and stand or sit on a little platform or basket. These systems are primarily designed to move heavy tools and rocks but miners frequently ride them due to the lack of infrastructure. It suffered a short malfunction making it jerk, tilt or partially slip and the worker standing on it fell but could get a hold to it dangling underneath but he got exhaused and had to let go. |

No worries: once you start in (or up) on something like this, you'll be able to hold on for the rest of your life.

Re: Miner Falling To His Death
He was an adult miner. Poor dude working for a few dollars a day. Does the Mexican government or his employer provide any type of financial aid to his family after something like this happens?   |
