After that injury, every coach told their athlete not to clean with straps on. He is famous for that injury.

lol yeah i didnt catch the fact that he was wearing straps when he got the injury.would it have helped at all in that scenario. looks like even if he was not wearing straps it would have still landed like it did.

Of course it would have helped if he wasn't wearing them. He couldn't bail on the bar (hands couldn't get free) b/c his hands were wrapped to it. I've seen similar accidents without straps and they didn't break anything.

If hadn't been wearing straps, he would have opened his hands and the bar would haven't have gotten him like it did.
