Russian Powerlifter Drops 400 Pounds On His Chest, Reportedly Dies
Be warned: What happened to poor Igor Golushkin in the video above is not for the squeamish. These details are unconfirmed, but according to this report by Red Hot Russia, Golushkin was trying to bench press 185 kg (approximately 408 pounds) when the bar fell on his chest, tearing his diaphragm and breaking his ribs. The spotters, for some reason, didn't spot him at all. Golushkin reportedly died at a nearby trauma center a short time later. He was 34.
