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.

I think it would break the site rules if I said mine as it counts as self harm agony-shivering

Are we banned from talking about self harm? I just assumed it would have to be spoilered + cw.

I am really sorry that happened :meow-hug: shits hard

Yeah it was the worst mistake of my life and I'm glad it didn't work
