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.
