A good friend of mine died of a brain hemorrhage this past weekend. He had recently purchased P90X to get into shape and had also purchased a chin-up bar. The chin-up bar was the kind that you screw into the door frame via brackets. He was training in his basement and for some reason one of the brackets holding the bar to the frame gave away and he hit his head on the concrete floor of his unfinished basement. His wife found him and he was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he died 2 days later.

Dying getbig style, in your parents basement.

Way to respect your friend by putting this out on a forum where ridicule is king and ignorance reigns...

wouldn't have happened with a rubber band pulley system.

Didn't appear to be fault of the equipment. Somehow the screws holding the bracket to the wall pulled out of the wood.

really a shame but it underscores how you should always check your equipment and don't buy cheap junk in the first place.....
-
No matter what the quality of the equipment, it always pays to triple check everything, and over build when possible. A fella named Ernie "Beef" Beath almost died a when pin on a power rack slipped and dumped a #765 bench press on his face. Luckly, he survived and is quite the overhead presser now-a-days.

WAAAH my friend died WAAAAH

you simple, ignorant man
ever here of von thunens concentric zones?
as you develop as a human being your circumference of your circle of compassion is suposed to expand
apparently you are behind in your mental and spiritual development
i have empathy for all humans, just imagine how it would have feel if it was you friend that did it

Really sorry to hear that. Poor guy was trying to better himself, so I find it hard to laugh at his death like some other less polite posters are doing. My best to his family and those left behind.

Somebody, somewhere, is blaming it on steroids.
-
Why would you land on your head if the chinning bar failed?
-
He had recently purchased P90X...
What has that to do with the accident? And it isn't a freak accident.
-

Maybe he was his only friend and now he has no one to speak to anymore.

Are you menstrauting or what?
-

Must have had terrible form. Pic or it didn't happen.
-
Are they going to bury him with his lifting straps on or did they take them off?
-

yes but that is besides the point
i hate when nobodies who never post here post sympathy threads like this
fuck the threadstarter and fuck his dead asshole friend who was too much of a dick to join a real gym
-

Tough. But fair.
-
any nudes of the dead friend?
-

I can't believe he would have been doing chins.
A friend of mine does this retarded ab exercise on the chin bar, putting his feet over the bar so that his knees are on top of it and then doing ab crunches. I am thinking this one has done something similar.
-
p90x is fckn dangerous
I knew it
RIP to that guy - a kid in my HS died lifting by himself - bar dropped on his neck
I felt partially responsible cause I was juicing a lil back then and rocked 'banana republic' size mediums when i was 17
-
I guess Vince Goodrum had an offer he couldn't refuse
RIP for your friend
-
A freak accident is if something happens that usualy NEVER EVER HAPPENS or is AMAZINGLY unlikely to happen.
Somebody dumb enough to take p90x and doing pull ups is just asking for trouble.
Just my opinion.

I agree. P90X is like playing russian roulette. He gambled and paid the price.

cant say i disagree.
-

I could see it, if it was the kipping or ugly explosive style pull ups Crossfitters and some others use to improve their numbers.
The style is so ugly and fast that sometimes the lifter's body is more horizontal than vertical. Speed + odd body position + tear out= busted dome:(.
