On 20 December 2002, an Explospot Active Explosion Barrier stopped a methane explosion at the Ukuzini Shaft of New Denmark Colliery in South Africa. The system detected the developing explosion and suppressed the flame front within milliseconds, preventing propagation and protecting five miners working nearby. The event highlights how active explosion barriers serve as critical safety controls in underground coal mining.
