The world of bodybuilding went into shock after Indonesian gym trainer & Fitness Influencer Justyn Vicky died at the age of 33 on July 15 while doing squats in Paradise Bali gym. Justyn Vicky's death came months after Jo Lindner, better known as @joesthetics on Instagram passed away at the age of 30 due to a heart attack. Although there is a huge difference in the death of both the gym freaks, Justyn Vicky's death has horrified the world as he death was caught on camera. Now, Justyn Vicky accident video is spreading like wildfire and a debate has started among netizens on social media on who must be blamed for the Indonesian fitness influencer's death. A few days back in India, a man was electrocuted while he doing cardio on the treadmill.
In the Justyn Vicky accident video, the Indonesian fitness influencer can be seen at the Paradise Bali gym trying a squat press with the barbell on his shoulders. He can be seen unable to stand upright after going into the squat. Vicky tries to hold the weight, however, the 210 KG weight proved to be too heavy for him and therefore he fell back into a sitting position. As a result, the barbell dropped on the back of his neck. Justyn Vicky's spotter seems to lose his balance and can be seen falling backward with him during the incident. Spotter is someone who provides assistance and support during weightlifting.
In the horrific accident, Justyn Vicky was left with "a broken neck and critical compression of vital nerves connecting to his heart and lungs," as reported by Indonesian media. After the mishap, Justyn Vicky was taken to the hospital for treatment. However, he died shortly after undergoing an emergency operation.
