42-year-old man crushed by squat machine

A terrifying accident occurred at a gym in Brazil, leaving 42-year-old Regilânio da Silva seriously injured. As he sat on a bench, a weight machine loaded with 330 pounds collapsed onto his neck. Witnesses quickly removed the machine and reported the accident. Da Silva underwent emergency surgery for four hours, but his situation remains serious with 1 st chance of ever walking again. He cannot move his legs, but has retained mobility in his arms. The cost of the operation was shared between the family and the gym, and a crowdfunding campaign has been launched to help da Silva's recovery.
