Why aren't people scared of dying due to falling forward during heavy squats on a platform? I've failed before and dropped the bar behind me but I don't see why this isn't more of a concern
You wouldn't die from something like that
because safety pins exist

the chance of death is what motivates me to lift
You wont fall forward if tou know how to squat. Just dump the bar behind and step forward.
Also if you did fall forward the plates will hit the ground before the bar could crush you.

I know how to squat and I do it high bar and I've only fallen backwards and I wear only shoes but I can still see it as a risk.
What if you fall forward and the bar crushes your head?

How?? The plates will land before the bar can crush it...

Is he gap between the bar and your head really big enough?

>tfw my 45b plates are 14" in diameter
If i fall forward with anyhing >3pl8 the bar would probably crush my head like a watermelon

Because we aren't pussies. Unspotted bench press on the other hand...

can easily roll it off you
I once loaded on 3pl and rolled it from my chest with no issue and my bench isn't even close to 3pls

How big are the plates you are using? It's certainly big enough to prevent you from dying.
