Abstract：On the basis of particular case of rockburst in Fuxin coal mining area，the rockburst characteristics are introduced，and the mechanism and prevention of rockburst for high-gas deep mine are put forward. There are main particularities for the rockburst in Fuxin coal mining area，for example，the geological structure is complex，the depth of mining is deep，the gas content and pressure is great，and a great lot of elastic energy accumulates in the coal seam，roof or bottom. When the coal mass is in turmoil by mining activity，a great lot of elastic energy are released and rockburst occurs. After deep mining，rockburst continually occurs. This shows that deep mining is direct cause of rockburst. To avoid gas calamity of high-gas mine，the amount of gas-pumping is increased，and a great lot of gas is discharged from coal seam by desorption and seepage. Because the physical and mechanical properties of coal are changed，gas calamity turns to rockburst accident. Thus the frequency and intensity both increase obviously. Controlling the amount of gas-pumping can achieve the goal of reducing gas-burst hazard and avoiding rockburst. The means of the water injection in coal seam with rockburst tendentiousness can improve the state of coal brittleness increase due to gas-pumping，and rockburst danger may be reduced.
