Here's another gym accident that happened during Friday's workout. I'm using one of the back machines and I hear a crash of plates falling on the ground and look over and see a younger kid holding a 45lb plate hanging his head with embarassment. He was squatting (I think) with 315lbs and when he was finished he unloaded all 3 plates off from one side of the barbell which made the bar fly up and slam the other 3 plates down on a plate tree next to it. It bent one of the arms on the tree and made everyone look at him. Needless to say he was out the door very quickly with a valuable lesson learned. The good thing is this will only happen one time to him!
