Damn.. the video is kind of chunky and I have no sound... so it's hard for me to tell, but where the hell was the spotter when needed?
 
I was there when it happened. It was shocking. He lay there on the bench immobile for a good 15 minutes afterwards. They had to haul him out of there in a stretcher.
 
I love how he's laying there after having his spleen smashed (or whatever) and having all those guys around tending to him and the MC says, "So, is he going to try again!?" I wish Triple H had just said, "No. Idiot."

I heard that he failed during warm-ups to get 980, or something like that. Kind of odd to fail to get 980 and then go for 1015.

Anyway, I don't know much about Gene, but whatever the case, I hope he's ok.

He didn't fail with 980, he just didn't go down all the way with the lift; it didn't touch his chest. It was very close, about a half inch to an inch, but nonetheless didn't touch.
 
was that 3 or 4 bench shirts anyways looked like his grip gave out probably due to to many bench shirts.

i met gene in person before the arnold when i went to the gym with my brother and hes fat.(typical powerlifter look even though there are a few cut PLs out there which is how i think the sport should be)

anyways how much can a bench shirt add to your bench just curious?
 
the shirt was on crooked, it's lower on his right shoulder therefore causing that side to go lower = getting your right side crushed with 1015lbs. the other guys should have seen this. bad hand off with the weight too.
