 a splendid chap, unlike some bitches on here Member 1670, 1705 posts SQ 190, BP 112.5, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 89.5kgs UnEq | The video is weird. Something obviously seems to go wrong before the bar started to drop. He starts falling hard at the same time the bar starts to drop. And there seems to be a missing frame, as the video skips a frame or two as the bar passes behind him. You can't even tell if it hits him or not. Other witnesses report the bar did not hit him at all. Sounds like previous injury he wasn't aware of that let go when he was under the bar. | ||

Can severed spinal cords never be fixed? Never say never, but no, never. | ||

Member. Member 2171, 1612 posts | Lots of places are reporting that the bar bounced back at him, but the vids dont seem to support that clearly enough. But what this could mean is that people don't believe that it hit his back on the way down. From a very basic view i'd be curious as to what injury was already there and the damage caused by him dropping to his ass like did. Freak accident or not, feel sorry for the guy. | ||

 Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | SMed said:The video is weird. Something obviously seems to go wrong before the bar started to drop.

This possibility just freaks me out. 105kg is a f**k load of weight in terms of trauma, but if it didn't even hit him, then it really isn't. Everyone here would bear 100kg of strain through their back any day of the week without a second thought, and then to sever your spinal cord through that? It's scary | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | SMed said:The video is weird.

Surely to have a severed spinal cord the bar must have fallen straight down on his spine, when he was sat hunched over on the floor? | ||

Mask it or Casket !! Member 4600, 8166 posts SQ 240, BP 162.5, DL 255657.5 kgs @ 90.5kgs UnEq | This video reminds me how dangerous this whole buisness is. I believe that Crossfit is more dangerous as nubies are often left unsupported in very technical oly lifts where as stronman is genraly done by ex bodybuilders, powerlifters and oly boys. | ||

Crossfit isnt too bad in some ways but there are a few things which are just plain crazy, like atlas stone squats, where you have to shoulder a stone, roll it to the back of your neck and squat. What happens if you fall foward, going to be hard to get out of the way of that stone! http://www.ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Articles/2014/Jan/Sto... | ||
