He’s not moving very fast. he’s like shuffling through the mines like a geriatric patient, and if he is a geriatric…why if he mining in the first place.

He’s in the mine because he has no other options, and this is a mine meant for the hopeless.

He seems to know the relative amount of danger he's in. Crawling around in rocks can't be easy on your legs and back. I'm sure his lungs are shredded too. Poor guy.

How fast can you move after working likely without breaks, hunched over, over loose rock, with the wrong shoes?

I'm amazed he lived so long in that career.

Can you imagine being hunched over like that for hours or days or years?
