File this under: I WOULD BE DEAD 
Matthias Steiner (105kg+, Germany) drops 196kg on his neck. Yea…  432 pounds.  On his neck.  Steiner, the defending Olympic Champion, managed to walk away but he was unable to continue in the competition.  Until NBC has it removed, here is a video someone uploaded.  When I saw this, I really thought he would be back for the C&J.  I mean, the guy gets up and shakes it off, or so it seems.  He was officially listed as DNF.  Kinda sad, because I was really looking forward to watching him compete.

  4. sabbyrunsatl said: I’m sure they sort of made him DNF for safety reasons. While he seemed to walk away there could be spinal swelling that shows up later…better safe than sorry.
