Today I almost met my end. After this I will say it hurts to swallow. Because of an equipment failure on my bench the weight suddenly dropped onto my neck. Haven't been this close to death in a while. So this is warning to those who are working out at home. Check your equipment.

First is the point of failure. It is supposed to be one uniform size. One side deformed and slid off the track. Second is the weights themselves. 405lbs. Of course it couldn't have failed on a lighter weight. Finally the injury. It hurts to swallow.

@cero My muscles didn't fail, the equipment itself did. It broke and ended up sending me and 405 lbs into freefall for a good 5 inches. So resisting the force of 405 lbs falling was what got me.

oh man, that would be a scary thing to come slamming down on your neck. Glad you are okay. I never do bench presses because of that I fear this exact kind of thing happening

I don't work out, but Jesus Christ, that shit looks dangerous. Glad you're more or less ok.
