The problem here is that access to the 'safe' chamber is too far away to actually access and in the case of Massey's mines the explosion rendered the miners throughout the mine unconscious and unable to save their own lives.

The mine's air was toxic and full of explosive capacity at some time during the 'work day' and they were required to continue to work.  The reason of course is 'the coal provides life.'  

That is about as perverse as it comes.
