During the preparation for lowering the rails, they swung into the shaft and 'rebounded off the hanging wall. As the rails came back for a second swing Mr. McGinnis hooked the rails with a hand hook and was pulled into the shaft.

Magma Copper Company A. M. Martinez 6-27-77 Mr. A. M. Martinez was engaged in a material Superior Division handling operation requiring the lowering of a Cavo Mucker down from one level to another by means of a special rigging, using a chain block and air tugger.
