That's incredibly unfortunate... :( :(

Best wishes to Johnson and I hope he has a speedy recovery.

I remember having a close call in high school...xeekx downright scary.

in HS i had a kid pull a pin on me while I was changing weights and crushed my index finger...ended up making the baseball team, but only played in like 5 games due to the injury...not any extent as this, but something I wanted to share anyway

Damn damn damn! That's just horrible. Hope he is ok.

I've tore a pectoral, and broke my right big toe (dropped a 25 lb weight on it as I was changing weights on the incline bench) in the past. Couldn't imagine dropping a loaded up barbell on my throat. Just scary.

This happened when I was at Towson, kinda. Guy was benching 225 and went to rack it, but the barwent over the rack and came down on the guys nose. His head swelled up huge. Got airlifted and had surgury. He eventually came back but he was never the same. Scarey stuff.
