OzzieOcean That looks way too painfull... some bones were easily broken. Ryan, I think you are right... poor communication between lifter and spotter.

JimB Here's another sad example: A 16 year old kid who dropped a 240-pound barbell on himself last summer:

JimB One example that comes to mind was actor Mark Frechette, star of Michelangelo Antonioni's cult film "Zabriski Point." His acting career was cut short by a bank robbery conviction, and when he was in prison he dropped a 150-pound barbell on his neck, killing himself.

ryan Really? People have actually been killed? That's crazy... Definitely this coulda been one of those close calls. I think they had bad communication between lifter and spotter.
