[Goanet] Would a helmet have helped?

[Tim de Mello]

BID TO RETRIEVE POT COSTS LIFE: An attempt to retrieve a pot from the well 
proved costly, when a 38-year-old man from Shetye waddo in Duler drowned in 
the well on Friday. Mapusa police said Mario S Colaco, a native of Verna, 
descended into the nearby well at about 9.45 am, in order to retrieve a pot 
which had fallen in the well a few days earlier. Colaco removed the pot and 
was coming up without the assistance of a rope, when he slipped and fell 
into the well. Those present above then lowered a rope to aid Colaco's climb 
and as Colaco was climbing up, he slipped for the second time and drowned in 
the well. (H)

I wonder if a helmet would have helped dear Mr. Colaco? RIP.

And, Oh! Yes!

VIVA GOA!!!
