Shocking -Died shortly after bench press accident ( video )

[Big Danny]

Be warned: What happened to poor Igor Golushkin in the video above is not for the squeamish. These details are unconfirmed, but according to this report by Red Hot Russia, Golushkin was trying to bench press 185 kg (approximately 408 pounds) when the bar fell on his chest, tearing his diaphragm and breaking his ribs. The spotters, for some reason, didn't spot him at all. Golushkin reportedly died at a nearby trauma center a short time later. He was 34.

This actually has almost happened to me. I no longer free weight barbell bench press. There really just is no point for me at least since I am not a competitive lifter.

Sorry, missed it. Maybe a mod could delete it than.

Just a freak accident. You've got a 1000% greater chance of being killed driving in your car then you do from bench pressing.

Keep pressin' ya crazy bastids.
