New Video: Worst Death in the Gym..Man Suffocates for 2 Minutes when Bar Falls on his Neck
«Performing heavy bench presses, whether on a decline or flat bench, can be dangerous if proper form and weight control are not maintained. One of the dangers is the risk of the bar slipping or falling back on the throat. This can cause serious injury or even death if not properly controlled. In the tragic case of the person who was performing a flat bench press, their back was arched too high, which shifted their center of gravity and made it harder to control the weight of the barbell. This led to the bar rolling back and slipping, resulting in a fatal injury.
It's important to prioritize safety and proper form when weightlifting, especially with heavy weights. Keeping the back straight and stable, with the shoulder blades pulled down and back, helps ensure that the bar is controlled throughout the movement. This tragedy serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of proper technique and safety awareness in any weightlifting exercise.»
