A man survived after a barbell pinned his neck during a bench press at the Zhongli branch of Genghis Khan Fitness Club in Taoyuan, Taiwan, on September 11, 2024. The bar came down onto his neck, and he struggled beneath it as his legs jerked. A woman lifted the bar away, and staff helped send him to a hospital.

Gym owner Chen Zhihan said during a September 13 livestream that the member had suffered no serious injury. He said a coach remained in contact with the man and advised him to monitor his condition over the following days. Chen also said the member had not used the safety bars and rejected responsibility for the accident.

You'd surely shout for help if you saw that happen, not just try and move it yourself and hope other people noticed the danger.

I was expecting it to fall on his neck not be rested there gently like it was. He’s lucky it didn’t do serious damage to his neck and turn him into a quadriplegic..

Yes, indeed! That has NEVER happened to me in all my years of hoisting Big Macs! Just goes to show you how dangerous gyms are!

I was a gym junkie for years & you see this happening all the time on the bench pres, especially when there's a pretty girl around (& no I'm not saying that fat assed hairy backed asian / chinese chick was special)
It's funny to watch all the punks start piling on the plates & bam, they get stuck, or grab other free weights that are way too heavy for them to use effectively & end up fucking themselves up.
Not the first or last, I'm afraid !
