USC running back in critical but stable condition
http://www.scpr.org/news/2009/09/29/...ble-condition/
USC running back Stafon Johnson was hospitalized in critical but stable condition today after over seven hours of surgery for injuries suffered while weightlifting. The specialized surgery was required because of a threatened airway and severe injuries to Johnson's larynx, according to Dr. Gordon Hinika, trauma medical center director at California Hospital Medical Center.
Johnson was bench pressing with a spotter at a USC weight room around 11 a.m. Monday when the bar slipped out of his right hand and fell at an angle on his throat, according to a statement released by the university.
hope all goes well for this feller

Spotter can't do sh*t when it slips from your grip.
His spotter probably saved his life.

He had to of been using the thumbless grip. My brother used to do it and dropped some weight. Even with a spotter it's hard to catch

someone hitting failure is a lot easier to catch than 275 lbs of weight slipping from someones hands not much higher from them.

Yea, I think I read somewhere where the strength coach said the spotter immediately got the bar off and could have done more damage but the assistant reacted quickly.

Can't blame the spotter on that. My view is all a spotter should do is help you out with that little last push if you cant get it, or obviously get the bar off your chest if you fail. Can't expect a spotter to catch the bar in the air.

USC has too much depth at RB, so it wont be much of a factor even though Stafon is a stud RB.

I still dont understand why people dont just use a power rack to bench with the bars being a spot.
I go to failure benching in my power rack.
if he benched on this, the bar wouldve smashed against that black spot bar just above the bench, instead of his windpipe.

If he was using openhand grip, the best spotter in the world isn't going to save you when 300+ pounds slips out of your hand. I doubt Marius could exert enough force, that quickly, over that short of a distance, to keep it from hitting you.
Hope he gets better

Man... whenever benching heavy weight, the thought of dropping the bar on my throat always runs through my mind...
Gave me goose bumps to hear that it has been done

Spotter couldn't do sh*t to stop this in this situation.
Had the spotter not been there to pull it off, he'd be dead.
