I blame event organizers, that's how they set it up. It's a freak accident, but there is a lesson to be learnt none the less
well, I repeat my summary, Olympic lifts are dangerous, have seen a few serious accidents, and I broke my wrist doing them.
Doing Olympic lifts pre-fatigued is even more dangerous. This is not an argument, it is logic.
But I say let the bozos do it in their claim for being part of a great sport.
It's not really a freak accident if the event organizers set it up that way. Its poor fucking planning and negligence on someones part.
Never seen Olympic lifting on the TV with a stack of plates behind the lifter. There is a reason for that.
Injury stats show Olympic lifting is safer than most sports that get played daily. Your opinion isn't an argument, you think it is unsafe because you have been injured, stats show otherwise.
I'm going off what people have said who claim to have been at the event, not the clip
I agree. The numbers show weightlifting and powerlifting have much much less injuries than sports like footy and rugby.
Crossfit probably has more than weightlifting but nothing like footy ect.
Well have a look at he clip and give your opinion
You certainly get you knickers in a twist.
Please not 'crossfit is safe, just look at football/mma'
Like saying 'marijuana is safe, just look at alcohol/cigarettes'
Sigh when will cross fitters learn ....
really, anyone's opinion is an argument.
Again, Olympic lifting is both a strength and technical sport, and pre-fatigue increases the risk of injury given that throwing weights above your head when you are tired is more dangerous. This is logical, ask a sports doctor.
But, again, if the sport needs to do this to express its all-round claim, then so be it.
I like watching it, and a few crazy lifts maybe even better to watch.
Don't think it is a sport though, more of a business. A sport is open to anyone, and is not subject to being in a club and paying $50 a week. Comps should be open to anyone on day.

Looks more like the impact from the bar, rather than anywhere he fell or what was around him (from my view anyway). His injury was at t11 (thoracic 11) So you lose function pretty much from the level of injury and down.
