i read a story where Lee Priest was doing benches with 455 and a guy who worked at the gym was showing a newbie around and the newbie rested his arm on one side of the plates that Lee was benching, he said the bar and plates went everywhere, maybe Lee can verify it.

I heard a story about a gym manager and the lead female trainer 69'ing in his office right before the gym was closing. The spick janitor came in the office to collect trash, scared the trainer half to death and she bit the manager's dick. He ended up needing 11 stitches.

Did see this one but was told about it. Happened at my university gym.

Little Olympic lifter guy doing the jerk part of the clean and jerk. Has his top weight (which is heavy, he eventually went to compete at the Commonwealth Games) on the bar not sure the exact weight. Gets two guys to help him bring the weight down and re-rack the weight on the stands. One guys starts day dreaming. Little lifter guy thinks he is going to help with weight. Weight gets dropped at one end, equipment goes flying everywhere. The guys who saw it were amazed no one got badly hurt.

Seen a man break his arm benching in a meet. Pretty nasty you could hear it snap from 100 feet away.

Seen a guy fall back during a squat attempt and the bar landed on the spotter and broke a bunch of ribs.

Watched a kid drop a Db on his face doing incline press...

I've dislocated my knee in the gym and couldn't get it back in place...was taken out by EMS. I've also dislocated my shoulder during heavy db presses for shoulders.

Maybe you should lighten it up a bit?

i had a little accident myself some about 3 weeks ago. nothing major but.

Both of these were when i was an undergrad, there was a school bench press meet, and this dude had 330lbs on the bar and it was going up easy so his spotter wasnt ready, and it fell back right on his neck about midway up. He was squirming, but suprisingly didnt get hurt. Another time my buddy was squatting 600, and when he went to re rack the shit, the guy on the other side of me got the skin inbetween his thumb and finger pinched in the bars you rack it on. It took a second to realize what was making him scream, then we picked it up and his shit was bleeding everywhere.

some overzealous dude was doing pullups and pulling a bit too hard. on his 5th or 6th rep he pulled too hard and actually fell on his ass
SAME GUY went over to do incline barbell presses wiht a 25 on one side and a 35 on other. My friend and i watched waiting for him to unrack it (we obviously didn't tell him) then he unracked it and the barbell did the seasaw thing and made a shitload of noise.

About 15 years ago at the college gym I trained at I saw a dude in the middle of training shoulders collapse while doing side laterals, pass out on the floor and puke his guts up all over the place. At the time my girlfriend (now wife) who was studying to be an RN basically checked all the guys vitals while an ambulance was called - the dude was in a totally unconscious state and convulsing a bit.

Turned out that he died in the hospital about three days later - he had suffered a major brain anyurism (sp???) and never regained consciousness. Could not have been any older than 21 years old either.

Only time i can remember coming close to an injury was doing standing calf raises.

I set the station to it's max (600lbs) after pyramiding up over 4 or 5 sets and i guess i'd been sweating quite a bit. So I start on the ground then put one foot on the platform, lift myself up, then put the other foot on the platform. After 2 or 3 reps my right foot fucking flies off the station because I had put it on a spot with some sweat on it and all the weight comes crashing down on my left leg.

I've never been so happy that i don't lock my knees on calf raises in my life. Nothing happened except for a loud crashing sound but if i had my knees locked I'm positive i would have shattered a knee cap. Now I always make sure the platform is dry.

I learned mine. Back in 03 after leg pressing i got up to load an extra plate or two and thinking it was on the sled safely (i was a bit woozy from the last set, breathing heavy) anyways it wasn't on there safely! it fell smack on my left toe. from 3.5-4 feet high. Hurt like a bitch and didnt feel like stopping. By the time i got to squats i realized my foot felt a bit hot, took off my shoe and saw red everywhere.i was bleeding like crazy, busted the cuticle (right where the nail meets the skin) and got a hairline fracture on my big toe. couldnt walk right for 2-3 weeks because any pressure on the toe was fuckin sharp pains, but i still did legs 5 days later, just stuck to extensions, and seated leg curls, etc...to this day i check and double check those plates on the leg press, and every exercise for that matter!
