It appears that the victim must have forgot to clear the cable in changing the hook from one bucket to another and the force of the impact of the bucket and its load in being jerked across the shaft after he signaled to hoist must have been responsible for the accident that caused death. No one was with Lucero at the time as he was working alone in the shaft.
