When he finally comes to he wasn't able to stand straight up, if he did he would enter shock again. Pretty sure the guy herniated a disc or pinched a nerve in his lower back. Poor guy will probably never do deadlifts again. First time I've had to do first aid.
Scary shit.

YOu serious??? I was going to go up there today. Holy fuck that's messed. I've pulled a hamstring doing deads a long time ago and while it hurt like hell , I was only out for a few months and I am super careful about my form. When I see a bad bend in people's backs while doing deads, I can't help but point that out to them so they don't hurt themselves. Deads are by far the most popular exercise at the SFU gym so I hope they don't ban them based on this one incident.
