is that part of the sport? nah,just kidding...but those guys should have been by his side and not chillin on the side!

Haha.. you NEVER have spotters while doing olympic lifts for the very reason of what you see. That's 100kg on that bar falling towards the ground from an unconscious guy! Would YOU try and catch it?

can the bars land on their heads

yes, it can fall on their heads no, you're not supposed to have spotters in this kind of lift (some have 1 spotter hehind him to catch him if he falls, but not during competitions) i read what happened to him, he lost consciousness because he tried to hard to lift the weight. it has happened to me before during the clean and jerk (which that is) but i pushed the weight away before i fell backwards and my spotter (see above) caught me

He didn't pass out from TRYING too hard you dummy. He passed out because he rested the bar above his clavicle and cut off the carotid artery. It's very common in weightlifting.

spotters are no good 20feet away
