In today’s world, the importance of fitness has increased significantly. Earlier, people engaged in daily activities that naturally provided physical exercise. However, with most jobs now involving long hours of sitting, physical activity has declined. As a result, many people have started going to the gym to stay fit.
While working out is beneficial, many individuals make critical mistakes that put their lives at risk. Several videos of gym accidents circulate on social media, leaving viewers shocked at the reckless actions that lead to such dangers. One such video is currently going viral, showing a man making a near-fatal mistake in an empty gym.
In the viral clip, a man is seen attempting a chest press. Reports suggest he had gone to the gym with his wife, and since the gym was empty, he made her his workout partner.
Typically, during chest presses, individuals have a spotter to assist them in handling weights when needed. With no one else around, the man relied on his wife for support, unaware of the peril that awaited him. According to the video caption, the man was attempting chest press with 165kg.
A Brush With Death
The man loaded the barbell with heavy weights for the chest press. His wife assisted him in lifting it initially, but he struggled to complete even a single repetition. Unable to lift the weight, he quickly lost control.
His wife attempted to help, but the weight was too much for her. The barbell slipped and got stuck against his throat, putting him at risk of suffocation. For a moment, it seemed like a fatal accident was inevitable. Fortunately, he was rescued just in time.
