No spotters?
What could a spotter do with a free weight lift? Get both of them injured.Quote:

I see a need for a couple of ropes, or cables, running through a braking apparatus, which can be deployed, instantly.
Not a bad idea.Quote:

Close call.
The end of the bar definitely hit his head and bounced it off the floor. That had to hurt a lot!
I noticed it hit the gym floor instead of the plywood cushion mat. That probably didn't make the school board very happy having to have the floor repaired
