Terrifying accident at a gym in Taiwan: A man who had a barbell fall on his neck was severely injured.

A horrific accident at a sports gym in Taoyuan, Taiwan has raised concerns about gym safety. A weightlifter performing a bench press exercise was in danger of suffocating when a 104-kilogram barbell fell on his neck.

In the security camera footage, it can be seen that the weightlifter became tired and lost control of the weight while completing his set. As the barbell rolled towards the man's neck, he desperately tried to breathe and moved his legs for help.

The other people in the gym initially did not realize the seriousness of the situation. However, when the weightlifter's legs started twitching due to lack of oxygen, a man and a woman rushed to help. Together, they lifted the weight and saved the man.

After the incident, the weightlifter was taken to the hospital. The local community criticized the gym staff for their delayed response. Experts emphasize that gyms are responsible for ensuring the safety of their customers and that there may be legal consequences for not taking necessary precautions.

This incident is reminiscent of similar accidents that have occurred recently. Last year, a woman in Indonesia lost her life after falling off a fast-moving treadmill. In Bali, a bodybuilder died when a heavy weight fell on his neck.

These accidents highlight the need for increased safety measures in gyms and for users to be more careful. Experts recommend always having a workout partner and regularly checking equipment.
