A strongman from Scunthorpe has suffered a shocking injury after dropping gym equipment weighing more than 100kg on the back of his leg.
Liam Swindell, 28, was training for his next strongman competition in January when he dropped a 140kg atlas stone on to his calf, Scunthorpe Live reported.
The 24st man was left with an inflamed hematoma, a bruise which causes blood to collect and pool under the skin like a balloon, which required surgery at Scunthorpe General Hospital.
