Gym Accidents

[soundsgood]

I was just working out at my gym, in the middle of an set of squats. There was a guy in front of me doing overhead dumbell presses. Somehow the dumbell came apart while the weight was directly above his head and 40kg worth of weights gave him a happy slap in the face. :doh:

Fortunately he was alright, he wasnt a pussy about it unlike some gym weenies would be.

I put my back out at the bottom of a squat a while back but this incident was visually about the worst Ive seen. The potential for damage in the gym is pretty high (think Final Destination 3), whats the worst you guys have seen.

My gym is mainly a fitness gym and attracts alot of older people to workout during the day. An older guy also had a heart attack on the rower. The staff had to do CPR and fortunately theres an A&E directly underneath the building so he didnt have to go far to get treated. However the Gym is now equipped with a Defibrillator machine \:D/ just in case.......

My Gyms pretty soft and I don't pay a hell of a lot of attention to what others are doing for that very reason,

The best I've seen is one of the employees catch his finger when un / re racking some 20kg plates from the leg press :shrug:

Gym rat, not having a go at you, but slow down when typing so you get your sentences and full stops out in full.... I had to read that message a few times to decipher it clearly .

I saw a lady using the lat pulldown bar on the regular cable machines. She bent down to pull the pin out and the bar weighed more than the minimum weight on the stack and came crashing down on the back of her head. Scary stuff.

Oh and I've seen people doing bench with no clips and one time this guy lost the weights on one side (from uneven form probably) and then the otherside of the bar whipped down because on the imbalance and almost owned him. Luckily I've never seen or experienced any really bad bench accidents though.

I fell forward with 210kg on my shoulders doing squats. I had a partner that was a newbie and wasn't paying attention ..... luckily I was inside the squat rack! I was so pissed I stood up re-racked it all and got out 10 clean reps. :oops:

Lol I've done that heaps, we have quite a heavy bar at the gym at work, I think it's about 2-3kg. I do it almost every time I use that gym and often more than once, it's a pain in the ass, every time it happens I'm just like G*d Dam*it~~!!! OUCH~~!!!!

haha my mate did the same thing, but the bar bounced off his head and into a fan that was next to us which then sent flying plastic blades everywhere before it fell over and smashed into 5 pieces was pretty funny to watch.

saw a guy doing squats with 100kg and no collars his form was shit and when reracking it he missed the pin causing one side to go down and slde the weights off before swinging back the other way , he didnt get hurt but the weights landed on his drink bottle which squirted red powerade all over the wall.

Safety first, if starts to hurt- STOP.

ahh back in the day wen dad used to train at clive greens he was working out and ther was seperate bits in the gym, like a main bit, where he was in the squat rack squatting and then a side alley which had all the dbs in. this 30yr year old fit guy dad said, walked past the squat rack into the alley bit to do w.e. dad kept doing his w.o and after quite a while was like 'hmm that guy hasnt been outa there in ages' so poped round the corner to check and see if he was aite. dad said the dude was lying there on the ground unconcious dbs splayed next to him-he ran to get the staff member (bloody gym staff always siting down ) who was siting in the office and they ran back and the guy was stone cold, dead on the ground.

the dragged him into the office and rang 111.

and about 2mins after ringing for an ambulance, the dead blokes wife showed up; she was there to take him out to lunch :|

turns out he'd died of a heart attack in the gym

wouldnt that mean that your dad wins seen as hes the one who seen it

I once saw someone get stuck under the bench press without a spotter. It was a good 30 seconds before anyone realised and helped him out.

When i First started training at the gym a few guys use to train in bear feet. A guy ( Shane ) was taking a 20kg plate off the bench press bar, he sliped...... droped the weight and it landed square on this big toe!!!!! I never thought a toe could bleed that much!! it spilt the skin down both sides of his toe.

Everyone now has to wear shoes lol

[disasterpiece]

i do squats in bare feet

[ripsta]

came out of the changing room one day after working out and someone was doing decline bench and was stuck, nearly pushing against his neck.. quickly ran over to give him a hand.

other than that nothing more than getting stuck doing a squat :/
