How does that happen when you have 4 huge spotter with you?

the spotters don't touch the bar unless you are pushing against it and a downward motion of the bar starts to occur and the head spotter will give the signal to lift the bar off the person. If the bar drops or you loose control it is going to come down to fast for anyone to catch it to save you (especially when it is a shit ton of weight like these guys use.).

its good that he can do a single rep with that much but its far more impressive that he can walk away nearly unhurt after that bar fell on him!
