Mar 28, 2017: A gym junkie has been filmed experiencing an horrific accident, with his leg bending backwards while trying to leg press a mountain of weights.

 

The videos have gone viral on social media, with the injury clip being viewed almost a million times on Facebook.

A second video showing a close up of the aftermath has been viewed 2.7 million times.

Dheeraj DC wrote on the Facebook video post about his friend: "Injury during leg workout - say no to ego lifting."

 

In the first video, a man is seen sitting at a leg press machine with heaps of weights loaded up.

However, his left leg gives away - bending the wrong way - during one press.

The machine clicks on to a safety mechanism so he is not crushed completely.

But the many grimaces in pain and reaches for his leg.

The man behind the camera runs to help him.

In the second video, the man lies in pain on the ground with his leg bent the wrong way as onlookers watch on.
