A weightlifter was knocked head over heels after a barbell crashed into his shins after he dropped it for safety.

Former strongman Andrew Reid was working out at a gym in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, on March 31 when he went to overhead press 110kg.

Scary footage shows the moment the 38-year-old had to bail out of the lift due to low blood pressure from heart failure diagnosed in 2023, dropping the bar to the ground.
