If the slope of the uniaxial stress–strain diagram in the post‐failure regime is steep enough, it is shown, using a simplified (‘elementary’) theory, that the frontal zone of a coal seam close to a cavity may suddenly collapse. This collapse, well known from in situ , evidence, is also shown to reduce in most cases the danger of initiation or the strength of a subsequent coal mine bump.
