Worst weightlifting stories and injuries

[rawlogic]

I was lifting weights the other day and I was doing like 245 lbs. I lifted the bar up and for some strange reason it slipped out of my hands and literally fell onto my neck. Luckily I was able to push it right off of me because there wasn't anyone around me.
Do you have any crazy weightlifting stories and injuries you want to share? I don't know how I didn't get seriously hurt but I was lucky on this day.

I once watched a guy blow out his pack right in front of my eyes. He was doing way more weight than he should have done on the bench press.

Never want to hear stories about injuries but my personal worst injury was when I felt something pop in my wrist. I had a tendon issue and it took a long time to heal from that.

I've seen guys squatting whose legs completely gave out and they tore their ACL. It's really amazing. Sometimes the body won't want to do what you want it to do.

Bros, I'm a huge fan of proper weight training. If you proper weight train, you can avoid a lot of issues. My worst injury was a plumbing accident. It took me a long time to get back into the gym so cherish every minute of it.

Seen heaps of distal bicep ruptures in my time, luckily haven't seen a quad tear in person
Personally torn my pec a couple times, but that's cause I used to dive bomb my bench reps lesson learned
