Share funny Accidents in the gym thread

TheIntense1 · 09-05-2006, 11:08 AM

Ok i work in a gym so i dont like it when accidents happen, but once in a while there funny. Like i was working the desk when i saw an ASian couple over by the cables. The guy was doing some pushdowns while the girl sat on a stability ball bouncing, as he finishes, and turns to her, he hits the ball while shes bouncing the ball moves, she flies back and smacks her head of the weight stack, she stands up with tears in her eyes, he tries to help, she slaps him and runs off. I attempted to help but was laughing way to hardto look at her, so was one other member, my abs hurt i laughed so much

LaNeR88 · 09-05-2006, 11:13 AM

One time in my weightlifting class at school this kid was maxxing out on bench and he had like 185 on the bar. well he gets one rep and tries for a 2nd but he loses balance and the bar tips and he had a spotter not paying attention on his right side. so a 25 falls on the spotters foot and he starts yelling so loud lol. i was doing squats and i look over and see the kid yelling and i almost lost control of the weight i was doing squats with i was laughing so hard.

when i was still a newbie i was doing tricep pushdowns at the pulleys. Well theres a hot girl watching me as i prepare to do my set, and on my first rep...CRASHHHH the pully thing slides right down and makes the loudest screechiest metal noise you've ever heard. Hot girl gives me dirty look and i felt so dumb... didnt lock the pully into place at the top properly. I check everytime now

This fat kid was running on the treadmill when he stepped on the side and fell and got launched off the treadmill into a potted plan, but instead of letting go and getting off he tried grabbing the bar and pull himself on the machine, he must've been hella carpet burned lol I had to stop lifting for a good 10 minutes cuz my friend and I were laughing too hard.

LOL he was tryin to be a big man throwin the weights around n now he's like ahhhh

Fred Flinstone · 09-05-2006, 11:33 AM

i was doing some cable bs for triceps, and was using some heavy metal handle type deal. when i went to change the weight, the thing fell and hit me in the head. it hurt so bad, and im pretty sure a couple of people saw it happen which sucks

Beansent · 09-05-2006, 11:34 AM

There was this swole, big black dude hittin 4 plates on the bench press. he could have easily been 250 and some change. well, he kept upping his weight until what appeared to be his 1RM. He lifted up the bar for his last set and immediately struggled with it. So some other guy, seeing this, goes to spot him in the middle of his rep.

Then the unbelievable happens.

the guy shards. it was extremely loud and the black guy immediately gives up the rep, i suppose, out of embarassment, and goes "it's too heavy." he acted like he didn't just shard in his pants. everyone else hears it too including the spotter but just play it off. true story.

chances are she wasn't watching you as you were about to do your set

TheIntense1 · 09-05-2006, 11:40 AM

I'll add another, this one is aboutmy friend. I was working the gym desk, and my buddy comes in to wait for me to get off work, to go get some wings. So hes foolin around on the bench press with about 155lbs, which was alot for him. He doesnt have any safety set, and doesnt manage to get to far the bar lands on his chest and hes truggling to get it up, to embarased to call out for help, well our fitness instuctor comes into the gym and sees him, and asks if he needs a spot, he doesnt say anything so she picks it up off him and places it on the racks, he didnt even say a word to her. I still pick on him about that to this day.

Nights · 09-05-2006, 11:59 AM

i've seen a kid put 8 plates on each side of the leg press and get ready to do his set. i was ready to be impressed, but he starts doing these ****ty presses with the ROM of a calve raise. he does 2 more sets of this and starts to take the plates off.

i guess he was thinking of something because he took all the plates off one side and the machine tipped over. it made the loudest noise i've ever heard in my life and the plates went everywhere.

my god his face was priceless, it looked like someone just **** in his mom's mouth. he left the gym immediately and i havent seen him since

hhaahah dam after hearing some of these storys my gym feels REALLY boring. nothing funny ever happens, i guess if all you do is arm curls like the people at my gym, theres not much chances of ****ing somthing up

but if i seen someone fall of a treadmill, hit themselves in the face, or **** themselves, it would make my day

these two douchebags were actually attempting to squat a few months ago. I had just got done doing my ATG squats and they asked if i was done with the rack. I said yes so they proceded to load 225 up. I was surprised b/c they didnt look like they could do that. Well the skinny guy goes down about 2 inches and the fat guy does the same. Then they load it up to 315 and ask me to help spot. lol the skinny guy gets under it then starts shaking. He goes down an inch then suddenly falls and the bar hits the safety clamps sparing his life lol. The fat guy then tries it and goes down an inch but loses balance and knocks the whole squat rack over. Moral: Good form is important lol.....

First time at a proper gym, I saw some 18 year olds doing some heavy weights (didnt see how many lbs). I wasn't ready to do them but tryed....for an intense 1 and a half hour session. It took 4 days till I could move my arms again.

japlha · 09-05-2006, 03:11 PM

I saw a guy miss a step on the treadmill.
All I heard was this BANG sound and some weird rubbing sounds.
He was holding on the handles and tried to pull himself up.
Hi shins were getting rubbed to hell.
We all couldn't stop laughing.

NarlyYarlyNoWai · 09-05-2006, 03:17 PM

Nothing has ever happened

rare_breed189 · 09-05-2006, 03:23 PM

My buddy was doing incline dumbell presses and when he was done he droppped the weights and one landed on his foot(75lbs) so let out a loud mother ****er then he galloped to the wall to where the football coach was and the coach called him a pussie so the kid let a loud grunt out and punched the wall breaking his hand and his foot within 5 minutes

iron_m!ke · 09-05-2006, 03:49 PM

i got a couple messed up gym stories. First one time i was running on the treadmile listening to my cd player (was like 4 years ago) and my cd player slid out of the cup holder thinggy and basically exploded into a million pieces.

Another time i was doing tricep pushdowns on the cables and the clip thinggy clipped into a small hole in the bottome of my shirt when i was pushing down and basically pulled my shirt over my head ripping it even more.

(((A^T^R))) · 09-05-2006, 03:55 PM

I once heard of a guy doing bicep curls with a stingray in Australia....

Brooklyn Kid · 09-05-2006, 04:01 PM

I was listening to some swole old guy talking about how he ****ed a female bb and her clit was bigger than his dick... I was doing squats while he was talking and when i was atg I let out a big protien fart and had to throw the weight at the rack to stop it from falling on me before i fell on the ground... he just looked at me and kept talking about her huge clit and his little dick

NTT · 09-05-2006, 08:49 PM

Saw a skater boy load up 5 plates on Leg Press and he got stuck without even completing a rep. He didn't say anything and he was trying to push it up far enough so he could put the safety on the first clamp (not the second where it is normally set). So after about 5 minutes I notice him red-faced and took off the plates.
