Fitness trainer's jaw shattered by 200kg weights

[ThePlen]

A FREAK gym accident, in which 200kg of weights slipped and hit a personal trainer's face, has left him with a shattered jaw and broken hand.

On April 1, Mr Jonathan Lim, who has worked at California Fitness in Novena Square for eight years, was doing leg presses in the gym. Mr Lim, in his mid-30s and with a heavy build, was getting off a machine when the weights were believed to have slipped off their locks.

Mr Lim, a personal trainer, had taken courses in gym safety before.
