An Indonesian fitness trainer lost his life after a barbell broke his neck in the duration of a training session. Mr Justyn Vicky, 33, was doing squat presses at The Paradise Bali gym in Sanur, Indonesia, on July 15 when this horrible experience happened, according to Indonesian media outlets. Social media pictures revealed him attempting to stretch his legs as the bar weighed down on his shoulders, but he tried a lot to stand straight. The barbell is of the weight between 180kg and 210kg.
Mr Justyn then collapsed to the floor and the stacked barbell happened to be spotted on the back of his neck. A spotter – a person who supports gym users in lifting or pushing more weight – was standing at his back when the exercise equipment fell. The spotter attempted to hold on to the barbell, but was not able to halt the equipment from landing on Mr Justyn. As the news site Bali Discovery reveals, Mr Justyn was dragged to the hospital with his broken neck. But the emergency operation was not able to save him. The fitness coach was having around 30,000 followers on his Instagram account.
