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.

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.
