USC RB Johnson recovering from weights accident - College Football - Rivals.com

The first time I heard this I wondered if he was using the thumbs with fingers grip. From the sounds of this article, which says the bar slipped from his right hand, it sounds like he was... any thoughts? Also, another article said he did have a spotter...

nah I'm out in LA now, he just missed the rack when finishing the set... the SC strength and conditioning coach chris carlisle was spotting him. I'm pretty sure it was a weight that he could rep easily, but more than warmup weight so probably something like 225-275... could have easily died. he still can't speak today, but his recovery looks promising... lucky to be alive really..
