Atlas stone accident/fail. GymFail 2019. Dropped 100kg atlas stone on leg

So on Sunday I was training stones at the gym doing my event day and as I lapped the 100kg stone I fell and lost my balance and the stone fell on my leg. I went to accident and emergency at the hospital and they x rayed it and there was no fracture or bone damage but I did have massive swelling and bruising to my left leg. I am currently on the mend. I have done a 160kg stone before so the weight wasn't the problem, it was only 100kg but I simply lost my balance and slipped so be careful when lapping the stone. Don't let this happen to you. I was lucky, if it had have landed on my ankle or knee it could have been a lot worse.

Careful! Those other stones could roll and land on your head while you sat there.

death by the rolling stones

Same😂

I’m glad you didn’t get too seriously hurt brother.
That whole set up seems like a recipe for disaster. A stone loading platform surrounded by mirrors, with no holes to keep the stones from rolling…this has bad news written all over it.

[@naturalstrongman81]

Thanks. I have asked for holes to be drilled but nothing has been done yet. So in the meantime I have to deal with the rolling stones.

[@halk8011]

Oh my God, thank God for your safety. I almost died from those stones

[@naturalstrongman81]

I know right. 2 years on and the swelling on my leg still hasn't completely gone away.

[@noobmaster6823]

Why are there no holes for them to rest on?!

[@naturalstrongman81]

I have no Idea.

[@madhunterplays832]

this happened to me yesterday and i broke my foot. but with 150kg sucks when the lap fails

[@naturalstrongman81]

Omg, hope you make a speedy recovery

[@madhunterplays832]
