In Response To: You don't have to lift the head with the rage x (Dean From Oregon)

I've seen a lot of that the last couple of years in many meets - the bar just kind of flipping back towards the throat, nect, face etc. Caught a couple at the American Open.

It doesn't help that guys are wearing shirts so tight it really makes it hard to control. Tom Hines told me that when he dropped that one bar at Nationals a few years back he couldn't feel his hands because his sleeves were so tight. Scary. Luckily, well relatively luckily, that bar didn't go towards his face/head. I was there at the meet when Mike Womack actually caught 740(I think it was 740) on his forehead. It actually opened his head up a bit - when I brought ice I could see into his sinus cavity. That guy is probably the toughest I've ever seen - dropped 740 on his dome, opened up his head and actually apologized to the meet director for slowing the meet down. I'm not kidding.

Cojones.
