The user was trying to lift 180 kilos when the weight fell on her
Everything has happened in a training center in Mexico City: a user was trying to lift a bar with a high weight, she was trapped, the bar hit her and she died.
The event was recorded through the security cameras of the establishment and the journalist Antonio Nieto, from a Mexican chain, shared it on February 22 on his Twitter account.
The woman was trying to lift 180 kilos of weight on a bar when it fell, ending in a tragic accident.
Given what happened, a debate has been opened about the lack of guidance from gym professionals.
In the video, a man is seen near the woman, who tried to help her. The weight of the bar was so high that she couldn’t do it alone. Two more people approach and manage to lift the bar, which fell directly between the woman’s neck and head.
Minutes later an emergency team arrives but they can’t do anything to save her life.
The Mexican Attorney General’s Office has opened an investigation to analyze the case, despite being an accident, they hope to verify whether the gym’s staff meets the technical and professional skills to guide customers who perform physical activity.

She got into position, and as she released the barbell, she couldn’t resist the weight, causing the barbell to fall on top of her, straight at her neck.
