Best Answer

The greatest dangers were fire/explosion, and collapse of the areas being mined. Coal dust is highly flammable, and most coal deposits have methnae gas (VERY flammable). Collapse could result in being trapped in the mine, or hit by rocks. Accidents have also happened when working with explosives, operating power machinery, and electrical wiring.
