one day last year I was in the gym and went to the lat pulldown machine in the middle of my workout. someone had it on 200 lbs or something, so I pulled the pin out of the weight stack, and the entire attachment fell on the back of my head. this was a really heavy metal attachment, must have been like 20-30 lbs fell on my head. I got really dizzy for ~30 seconds and had a big bump on my head, but that was somehow all that happened.
to this day, I’m kind of scared and cautious whenever I change the weight on those machines.
Did theater tech at my high school, safety wasn’t taken seriously so we didn’t wear harnesses when we were up in the rafters of a fairly large auditorium. Factor in my struggles with thoughts of suicide and the school might’ve had themselves a nasty little situation
BUT my parents probably would’ve had a baller lawsuit. Missed opportunities…
