Khaberni - A tragic accident recorded in a gym in Olinda, Brazil, claimed the life of a man in his fifties while performing a flat bench press.
The security camera captured the moment the weights slipped from his hands and fell onto his upper body during a routine training session inside the gym, causing him direct injury before he was able to rise for a few seconds and then fell to the ground, visibly in pain in the scene.
The recording showed the man emerging from under the weight after the sudden slip, but the effects of the injury appeared quickly when he lost his balance and fell to the ground in front of the onlookers.
The gym staff provided first aid immediately and called for emergency services, and the man was transported to the hospital, but he was declared dead despite attempts to save him.
According to media reports, Brazilian police concluded that what happened was an accidental incident related to losing control of the weight during the exercise.
