What happened to Justyn Vicky inside the gym?

On July 15, Justyn Vicky was reportedly performing a 210 kg back squat and had been struggling with the exercise since he started. However, the weight bar slipped at one point when he was in a lower position, pressing onto his neck and leading to an injury.

The video of the incident reveals that Vicky was being helped by a spotter to perform the exercise. Vicky fell on the lap of the spotter after he fell forward with the bar rolling by the back of his neck.

There have been similar incidents in the past, but fortunately, the bodybuilders have managed to survive.

Powerlifting star Jason Whittaker once attempted to squat 400 kg, and while he was struggling with the weight, the barbell rolled through his head to the front. He was not injured due to his spotter, who immediately took action to avoid any serious injuries.

Fitness influencer Bradley Martin was pressing a woman until she fell on him. Martyn had to be taken to the hospital and had to get around 10 stitches inside the mouth. YouTube personality Darren Watkins Jr. was trapped on the barbell as he performed an exercise but managed to escape. Another bodybuilder named Charles Griffen had a torn pec due to dumbbell bench presses.
