SteveEurkel 11 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 He was injured in a weightlifting accident, where he dropped a barbell on his throat crushing his trachea. He is stable and giving his mother hand signs, he is out for the rest of the football season, but doctors say he will play football again. My prayers go out to him,his family and his teammates.

hokie07 11 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 It was reported that anyone of slightly smaller stature than Johnson would've likely died from that kind of impact. Someone is definitely looking out for him from above. Here's to a speedy and successful recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also just saw on Sportscenter that the doctors said it would have also been a deadly injury had he not been built like he was around the neck muscle wise. It is a very freaky accident and it was reported that a strength and conditioning trainer was there but could not stop the accident. My prayers are with him, his family, the players that had to witness this. That has to be a very horrific thing to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverbaseball 10 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Almost happened to me not to long ago...I was feeling way to strong at the "end" of my workout so my dumba$$ tried declining bench 90 percent on my max and it didn't go so well..luckily I was able to throw it over to one side..Pretty embarrassing if I may say..

Makes you think about how lucky you really are when stuff like that happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaFutbol 10 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 So when I was lifting today, I just couldn't see how it would hit your neck in a regular bench? Was he doing decline, cause I can see that but not really on regular bench? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
