Bench Press

Funny comment on Pete's blog regarding bench-press accidents (along with a link to a pretty scary drop of an 800-pound bench):

If you find me crushed to death by the weights, put a few more plates on before you get help.

Exactly. And take a few pictures. At least the farewell comments of the mourners would be, "damn, I didn't know he could bench 500!".

Pete also referenced my own frightening experience of benching while failing to use a spotter. That won't happen again.
