never had it happen to me, but is it possible he cramped up in his arm at the top of his lift before it slipped out?

this is what most likely happened
bar can easily fall out of your hand if you lose it, not worth the couple extra lbs you get while holding it like that if you ask me

USC Trojans tailback Stafon Johnson is awake and communicating via writing and handsignals less than a day after emergency surgery to repair throat injuries from a weightlifting accident, according to a doctor at the hospital where he isbeing treated.
Dr. Gudata Hinika, the trauma medical director at California Hospital Medical Center, said Johnson is giving thumbs up signs and communicating in writing tohis mother and teammates after undergoing a seven-hour surgery to repair a crushed neck and larynx.
Johnson is in critical but stable condition, the hospital told ESPN's Shelly Smith.
Johnson, a senior who scored the No. 7 Trojans' go-ahead touchdown against Ohio State two weeks ago, was bench-pressing Monday when the bar slipped fromhis right hand and fell onto his throat. He underwent more than seven hours of surgery to treat crushing injuries to his neck as well as severe injuries to hislarynx.
Stan Johnson, the player's father, told ESPN's Smith that his son needed a tracheotomy to enable him to breathe.
Hinika said a man of lesser stature would have died from the injuries, but the thickness of Johnson's neck muscles helped him to breathe and probablysaved his life.
Hinika said Johnson is expected to fully recover, but would not speculate on the recovery prognosis for Johnson's vocal chords. It may take as long assix weeks before doctors even ask Johnson to attempt to speak, depending on factors such as swelling, he explained.
The doctors are trying to wean Johnson off a ventilator, and he is being fed through a tube in his stomach.

Glad that it looks like he'll be alright. It's just a good reminder for everyone else to be careful when you're in the gym...
