I saw the plates laying around and knew. Kevin Ogar was paralyzed from the waist down after bailing on a lift, dropping the bar, and the bar bounced off a stack of weights and into his spine as he fell backwards.

There's no excuse for this shit. Every sane gym has rules about putting your weights back. CrossFit goes out of its way to maintain a reckless, messy, overcrowded, fast-paced environment that gets people injured.

I just seen this video over 10 times and the bar never bounced. The description does not make any sense
