lifting weights by yourself is foolish.Alas, it seems so. When my son was this age, I bought a BowFlex. I was well-aware of this type of accident. Your kid can swear up and down that s/he won't use the weights w/o a spotter, but shite happens. I thought a BowFlex, with its system of rods rather than weights, was a better choice. Prayers for the family.

I have the Wieder Crossbow, kettlebells and dumb bells for workouts by myself. The weight bench is off limits without a spotter with the exception of the leg extension/curl attachment. I wanted a BowFlex, but at the time the order interval was 6-7 weeks and prices were astronomical. Both problems have been solved. You can get a first rate BowFlex setup for a very reasonable price...off the shelf.

A much better choice that’s well worth the money.
Prayers for the family. It has to be unimaginable grief to find your own child like that.

“shite”
Did you misspell “Shiite” and forget to capitalize?
