    I’m actually impressed more people didn’t die weightlifting with the things we see in stupid clips.

    I briefly shadowed at a medical examiner’s office. “Choking” was a scarily common cause to see up on the board. So I have a hard time believing only one person has ever died eating a donut in that same span of time.

    Note that I am pretty sure a lot of those choking deaths are in older people because your swallowing can become impaired.

    I’ve never actually heard of someone dying in a weightlifting accident but watching weightlifting stresses me out, I keep thinking of the weight falling on their heads
