Chinese Weightlifter Suffocates After Barbell Drops on His Neck (full video)

Wuhan

At the Pacific Fitness Club, a 25-year-old man, surnamed Zhang, died when a barbell pressed onto his throat while he was bench pressing. According to the gym's manager, Zhang was a regular at the club, often lifting barbells exceeding 100kg in weight. The manager believed that Zhang may have overestimated his own strength and exceeded his physical limits, leading to the tragedy.

According to eyewitnesses, the venue was not well lit, and by the time two coaches realized what had happened, and removed the barbell from Zhang's neck before performing CPR, it was futile. As Zhang was a familiar member, the coaches - there were three or four on scene - weren't closely monitoring him.

Real men don't bench with an arch in their back.

Dude was ego lifting with clips on the weight and no spotter. He fucked around and definitely found out!

I know right? I don't get the point of "arching" the back to lift. Sure it helps arching a bit (I can be wrong, I admit), but he was doing a McDonalds arc xP

You're a fucking moron. Back arch is to incorporate leg drive, making a stiffer back and allowing you to press more. It's a technique powerlifters use.

This is the mens 93kg world record bench press by Kostiantyn Musiienko. Clearly arching his back. It has nothing to do with being a "man," its a technique used to maximize pressing potential.

I had an incident like this years ago with 85kg, i managed to roll it down my chest and off to the side after a minute or two of wrestling with it. Lesson learned, never go heavier on your own.

looks like he has 120kg

Seems to me that he was fucked as soon the barbell touched his throat. By the looks of it the 100KG of weight crushed any bones in his neck but kept it intact kinda like being pinned by a car with a crushed Pelvis. His body still moving because it was still intact with the brain stem, he's basically doing immediate death throes.. He would have died anyway. Like with that dumb indonesian around the same time, the damage was done immediately

In hanging executions the precision drop is designed to damage the brain stem, this stops signals being sent to the lower body.. Especially the inmates Heartbeat

In this case even though I believe it crushed his neck resulting in paralysis, the brain stem survived and the guy's heart kept beating. He basically suffocated and would have if they got to him because the weight crushed his throat completely straight away.

Hence the inability to even try and get it off

from the angle It almost looks like he's been beheaded the way his body squirms but his head remains still and I was actually quite gutted it cut off before he actucally died.

:star: I was just thinking why not have to metal bars on both sides so if were to do that it would catch. even if he was trapped until some came to lift the weights he'd be okay. :star:

Like some kind of safety bars? I imagine such an invention would be cheap, reliable and easy to implement… but they'll never catch on

in my home gym i have it that way.. a squat-rack as a safety for my benchpress.. in a worst case scenario it stops 1,5cm above my ribcage.

If people wanna go heavy so bad, why don't they use dumbells? You can still hurt yourself with dumbells but you'll survive.

Are there no safer lifting stations available? Every time I sees such an accident people take too heavy weighs and are unable to push it back/place it - some higher surface areas left and right would be useful or an ultra heavy chain system attached to the barbell so it cannot go deeper than a certain height.

Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has—a malignant, parasitic-like condition to which “white” people have a particular susceptibility. The condition is foundational, generating characteristic ways of being in one's body, in one's mind, and in one's world. Parasitic Whiteness renders its hosts' appetites voracious, insatiable, and perverse. These deformed appetites particularly target nonwhite peoples. Once established, these appetites are nearly impossible to eliminate. Effective treatment consists of a combination of psychic and social-historical interventions. Such interventions can reasonably aim only to reshape Whiteness's infiltrated appetites—to reduce their intensity, redistribute their aims, and occasionally turn those aims toward the work of reparation. When remembered and represented, the ravages wreaked by the chronic condition can function either as warning (“never again”) or as temptation (“great again”). Memorialization alone, therefore, is no guarantee against regression. There is not yet a permanent cure.
