[QUOTE="blisters, post: 315038, member: 4992"] There's certainly no such thing as a safe mine let alone an old one. I went on a geology excursion in an active NSW copper mine and we were all looking at the vertical shale/slate at the end of a drive. It was like one of those cartoons, our lecturer pulled out a small bit must have been a few cm long to look at it and a slab about four foot long fell and smashed him on the head and hit the geologists leg. The lecturer's hard hat squished down and put a nice cut on his nose and she had some nice gashes in her leg. Let's just say it was every man for themselves bolting down the drive I certainly wasn't hanging around. Earlier in the excursion the geo decided not to take us under a raise bore and if she did then timing would have been perfect to have a crap load of boulders tumbling on our heads so we were a little jumpy already.
