Brazilian Dad Dies After Dropping Barbell On Chest During Gym Accident
A gym accident led to a Brazilian dad passing away after he dropped a barbell on his chest. This is why it's always important to have a spotter that you trust!
This has long been a fear of mine. You don't want to drop a barbell on your chest. Anytime I see one I think of that happening because you see it in the movies, TV shows, and online fail videos all the time. I always thought it would happen to me. Thankfully, it never has (for me). But it became reality for this Brazilian dad, 55-year-old Ronald Montenegro. According to The New York Post, he was caught on CCTV lifting weights when the piece of gym equipment slipped out of his hands and crashed onto his chest. Other gym-goers rushed to his side to help but he collapsed seconds later.

Sounds like it was a freak accident but it ended up killing him! This is what I have long been scared of. It's not just embarrassing to have happen in front of others--but it can kill you! Read more from The New York Post here.
