According to the characteristics of the shock bump due to roof fall, a simple mechanics model has been established by applying the catastrophic theory and the law of energy conservation. The author suggests that the shock bump may be induced by the sudden energy release in the roof falling after underground mineral extractions, and through the systematic analysis of actual examples on site, the empirical formulae for the roof falling and energy release are derived, which would provide a new way for the study of the origin and mechanism of mine tremor due to fallen-in roof structure. It is of a great importance to enrich the shock bump theory and production safety in mine.
