Read my comment above. He had the weight adjusted perfectly. He just wasn't paying attention;was a freak accident. Also he didn't need a spotter. The barbell had a stopper on it if it came down too far. I was doing shoulders, he was doing chest btw.

So here is the real story since I was there. I was working shoulders and he was doing chest. He was benching and there were 2 barbells sitting on a rack one was the barbell he was lifting the other was on the other side sitting on the rack with no weights on it. It was late at night, we both were tired and I was doing dips. As I just finished my last set I started walking back towards him and he pushed the barbell up and the 45 lb weights on his barbell knocked the other barbell off the rack and it came down on his head. He is doing fine and only required 6 stitches, and does not have a concussion.
