Default Wisconsin high school football player dies in weight accident

This is so tragic:

Please don't ever lift alone without proper safety equipment, and make sure to test your rack/pins to make sure they can support the weights if you did need to use them.

Wow, that's sad. But, it really reinforces why I bench in a rack, especially alone, even though I seem to move more weight from standard bench. I just hope this, and the associated media attention, doesn't have the effect that gun accidents tend to.

Same here.

I have been benching alone with pins and have never had a training partner. To be honest, not really sure why modern bench units are sold to gyms without some sort of spotting arms.

The Rack for me as well, I like racks. I t would seem strange to bench out of a "regular" bench now.
