The cases presented here are an unrecognized source of accidental asphyxia--compression of the neck by barbells. Two cases of traumatic asphyxia due to this preventable hazard occurred in a 5-year period in central New York. There have been at least 11 similar deaths reported to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and cataloged in the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System between 1999 and 2002. A petition filed in 2003 with the CPSC-proposed mandatory labeling of bench presses to make consumers aware of this hazard, but was denied. This report looks at the deaths that have occurred due to this unrecognized safety threat and provides pertinent advice to make bench-pressing a safer activity.
这里呈现的案例是意外窒息的一个未被认识到的来源——杠铃对颈部的压迫。在纽约州中部的5年时间里发生了两起因这种可预防的危险导致的创伤性窒息案例。1999年至2002年期间，至少有11起类似死亡事件报告给了美国消费品安全委员会（CPSC）并录入国家电子伤害监测系统。2003年向消费品安全委员会提交的一份请愿书提议对卧推器进行强制标注，以使消费者意识到这种危险，但被驳回。本报告审视了因这种未被认识到的安全威胁而发生的死亡事件，并提供相关建议以使卧推活动更安全。
