whats the worst gym accident youve seen?

[lexus]

ive seen alot of shit go wrong in powerlifting meets but usually strong powerlifters can recover from dropping 500+ lbs on themselves

BUT the worst ive seen was a skinny 115-130 lb guy lift 225 off the rack and drop it from arms length.( now ive seen heavier weight get dropped) but this guy did not handle this well, the bar bounced and landed on his stomach folding him in half i had to pull it off of him.. the bad part was he had no fight the minute the bar landed on him he was done he curled up and screamed and made no attemps to push the weight off of himself.. after i grabbed it off him he stood up and said "im ok" took 2 steps and fell on his face.. the gym called the ambulance... when he left he had a yellow tint to his skin...

Andy Fiedler, benching some horrible weight, and then SNAP, the sound like slapping a wet leather lifting belt on a concrete floor, cracking into an echo through the gym. Everyone stops cold...

Andy had just torn his pec right off his shoulder, and it balled up on the center of his chest. The weight obviously dropped straight down, but spotters were there, thank god.

They took him to the emergency room, and did surgery later to tie the tendon back around the shoulder. Don't ask me how they did it, but he says now that side is even stronger than before. He's currently benching 810 (with a shirt).

one time i fucked one on the hot chicks that works at my gym and she gave me crabs.... that was a bad accident

 

[borderbound]

saw a guy have a brain anurysme (sp?) doing decline presses
dropped face first on his way to the water fountain bleeding something terrible from his nose . passed away 2 days later
doctors said it was due to a birth defect and not the lifting/gear


on a funnyer note i remember an asshole who used to leave weights lay all over the gym and was an allaround jerk doing dumbell presses

he had something like the 70's and at the end of his setwent to drop them to the ground but on the one side was the 75's he had just used
standing on its end
and he broke most of his metacarple bones in his right hand

I didnt see this happen, but when I came home from college for a while and worked out at my old gym and everyone told me how this guy was doing a workout and he was in between sets talking to his partner and just fell on his face all of a sudden and died from a brain anuerism. Scary stuff

this skinny guy was in my hardcore gym i trained at during my college years and was going to impress his girlfriend......gets in the squat rack and sets the safety pins so his range of motion is like 6 inches from top....loads a bar with at least 700 lbs and takes it off the rack.....squats down like 4 inches and sticks pins catch him but he keeps pushing for like 20-30 seconds.....gets out from under the pathetic squat and suddenly blood comes pouring out his nose and goes down like a pile of bricks.....slamming face first into the solid hardwood floor the squat rack is on.....i figure his blood pressuse climbed and fell way to fast.....owner kicked his ass out for being stupid.....

I remember an accident in a gym where I used to work out. The power lifting station was on the side. A guy lost his balance and went through the sheetrock wall into the dressing room of a clothing store next door. Luckly a little old lady had just spepped out of the dressing room to show her friend her outfit.lifting station was set up on the side of the gym. And this guy lost his balance and literally went through asheetrock wall,ending up in dressing room of an old ladies dress shop. Luckly a little old lady had just stepped out of the room to show her friend the chothes she was try on or it would have been bad

I havent seen anything horrible but I did see something funny. A guy was trying to show off for his girl. They were about to do flat bench and he was going to let her go first. So he's running his mouth and starts to strip the 45's off that someone had left on the bar. The problem was that he didnt see the 25 also on there. But he sure felt it when it landed on his foot. I never saw him again after he limped out the door.

There was a fight at my gym. Dude started throwing punches at the big guy, who then grabbed his fist and threw him onto a dumbell rack. Nasty stuff, both got kicked out for good.

 

[Massive690]
