Bench Press accident

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTpOZthGnWs - For those who think I have no business trying to bench 305lbs, here's a vid of me getting 295lbs a few minutes before this accident.
I was very lucky: no broken bones, no internal injuries, just a badly bruised chest. I took two weeks off from bench pressing, but I was squatting two days after this accident. It was NOT the spotter's fault, it was my fault. I was using a dangerous grip. I used the thumbs-under grip for many
years with never so much as a "close call". Needless to mention, I have changed my grip to wrapping my thumbs. But I'll still get tons of comments about my grip from all the illiterate "experts" out there. Probably 1% of the commenters will read this. This video aired on "World's Most Amazing V

But I was doing a burnout set once with 135, and my arms just wilted like his did, and almost choked myself. I was so tired, I couldn't even yell out for help.
