432lbs on the bar, it's just ugly.

No blood or bones breaking, so it safe for work.

Saw that on TV, it looked a lot worse when you watched it all the way through and in real time. But the picture of the bent bar on his neck is insane.

It is insane! I guess something like that could break your neck easily, it's shocking.

I was at that event. It was brutal, it was shocking that he managed to get up after.

Really? Wow, I can't imagine how it was watching it live... I bet there was a sickening silence on the audience.
