The weights were to crush the powerlifter’s head in the USA

The video about the situation is not suitable for sensitive people.

American student Jake Conti recently got into a life-threatening situation in a high school weightlifting competition.

When the American teenager tried to lift the bar above his head, he fell backwards with the weights and hit the floor.

It was really close that the weights didn’t fall on Conti’s head. Based on the video, it seems that the head of the pole hit the face.

Conti held his head after the crash.

– One inch and that would have been it, the social media powerlifting account Bench mob described.

– It was close, one of the commentators was horrified.

Conti seems to be fine despite the dangerous situation, because he also posted a video of the incident on his own Tiktok account. The song added to the background was sung “dumb ways to die” i.e. “stupid ways to die” in Finnish.

The update has received 1.2 million likes.

– I can tell that I sighed so deeply, one commented.

– Good God, the other was horrified.

– A small headache, the third one carved.

One of the commenters asked if the situation happened. Conti replied to the comment “a little”.
