He had recently purchased P90X...

What has that to do with the accident? And it isn't a freak accident.

Not almost jnn, he did. 

Plus why would someone who hardly ever posts here post something like that?  I understand one of us regulars, but why this guy?  Sad story either way. 

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

Why would you land on your head if the chinning bar failed? 

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?

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.

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.

Why would you land on your head if the chinning bar failed? 

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:(.

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.

How good of a friend were you to him? Sounds like something straight out of the movie Final Destination... :(
