2008 Olympic Weightlifting Accident

[thenumber34]

Janos Baranyai was trying to snatch 148kg(326lbs.) in his third lift in the men's 77-kg division, when his elbow popped out of socket.
No longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backward. The 24-year-old Hungarian fell to the floor in shock, shaking and crying out in pain.

The incident was shown in excruciating detail (from 4-6 angles, some in slow motion) on NBC cable coverage (on MSNBC, I think).

It was pretty crazy.

Kudos to the Chinese for having the kids with their signs ready to run out there and block the view.

Kinda scary that they have them ready to go out there and block the view like that. Also that they had the stretcher out there so quickly.

I refuse to watch that

Holy jeez. What is it about things like that? You know you don't really want to see it because it's so cringe-worthy, but you want to look anyways.

I seem to recall a picture running around the Internet a couple of years ago about a power lifter who blew out his a$$hole - it was pretty gross.

That reminds me of a King of the Hill episode. Bill was working out with bodybuilders and was trying squat too much weight. The dr said everything that was inside was now outside.
