The person had a tough time because the safety bars were too high, making it hard for them to squat safely. Mario clarified that the individual’s failure resulted from poor form rather than the absence of a belt. Moreover, he emphasized that if the individuals had worn a belt, they might have tried to lift more weight, which could have resulted in a fatal outcome and jeopardized future generations. The comments on the video reflect various opinions and worries about the safety techniques shown during the squat attempt.
