If you drop a BigMac on your chest, you may have to do some laundry, but you will walk away.

I've heard of people being hit in the chest with a baseball and dying, too.

Yes, as much as you wouldn't expect it to change anything it's better biomechanically and easier on the shoulders.

There's nothing inherently stupid about using it. Using it without safety arms/rack, on the other hand...

And as a couple of people have pointed out, a spotter would've made no difference, other than *maybe* a spotter giving a lift would've made this less likely to happen.

Damn, one simple mistake and it all ends. I see what he did, he had the barbell on the edge of his palm and it slipped off. Before you lift any weight, getting a good grip is paramount.
