I wonder what went wrong during the attempt; shirt break, pec rupture....????

I definately could see where that could kill a man!

The first cracking noising you hear was his right thumb breaking, the second cracking sound you hear is his chest and ribs breaking. His name was Rick Garvin and he died from internal bleeding b/c of this.

the comments under the video gave a different name and said dude just broke a few ribs and was fine...

looks like 600 but its really 832 and he came back on his 3rd attempt and nailed

Medical treatment may have been questionable.

I know someone who got broad sided at high speed. Tossed his car 30 feet in the air and sent 8 ribs through a lung. He was in rough shape for a few days but was walking around in two weeks.

I'd rather have 600 pounds drop a couple feet.

 

[JThompson24]

so your saying he didnt die

 

[string_bean00]

so your saying he didnt die

No he made his attempt later that day

 

[musclemuscle]

I laugh every time i see that.

 

[Smurfy]

Wow thats rough. I have a friend from Ohio whose arm completely snapped on a warm up for a bench comp, i think it was 625lbs or something. This happened about a month ago. He may never bench again. And he was an all natural star. Sad.

 

[Eringobraugh]

LOL, This guys arms are like 8" long

 

[Gambino]

I laugh every time i see that.

yeah real funny stuff

Bunk, he came back and had two successful lifts in that meet.

The camera is too far away for any of those cracking noises to be from the lifter. I speculate that the cameraman was eating potato chips.
