As a result, the barbell landed on his neck, and since the exercise was done without proper supervision, it turned catastrophic quickly. However, a girl was seen in the video trying to help the person, but she couldn’t lift the dumbbell. It was a near-death experience for the man as things could have turned worse within no time. 

However, he was able to free himself of the weight finally and escaped narrowly. This video should be an eye-opener for fitness enthusiasts to not perform these exercises without proper supervision.
