Don't squat heavy and you'll be fine.

He would have been fine w/ the correct setup as well... Total fail by this goofball...

Obviously the blame lies with the dead guy, but it was the spotter that trapped him in that position. 100% that guy doesn't die if that spotter wasn't there.

When I first started powerlifting one of the Saturday sports shows showed the World Championships and while I was watching this fucker. I believe his name was Paul Jordan,he gets all psyched up and squats and got crushed under it. I have always had that vision in my mind while squatting

Needed to wait for his knee-sleeves to arrive first.

Agreed, dumping the bar behind him would have saved him.

That’s a total freak accident and not with THAT much weight either.  Good reminder that weight training is risky and not to be taken lightly.

There was a 100-lb Asian woman who though squatting 315 on a smith-machine was a good idea (couple yrs ago).
Folder her like an accordion while her kid watched her die.

People = not too clever...

Hahaha Jesus that was bad. He got so psyched up and brutally failed! Loved the critical commentary from Mel Gibson as well.

The guy behind him most likely attributed to that death. Like what are you even going to do there behind him, except not allow him to drop the weight, also could of had some safety bars, why even try to attempt weight that you can't even do 1 rep of

Should have had spotter racks. I saw a video of a crossfitter doing a snatch and dropping it on his back breaking his spine paralyzing him.
