In a disturbing turn of events, an incident at the Next Level Gym in Palmerston, Australia, made headlines when one gymgoer violently dropped a 50-pound weight on another’s head, leaving the victim with severe injuries. The man responsible for this horrific act, Shane William Ryan, pleaded guilty to the charges in the Supreme Court. The consequence of this mishap is to spend 19 months in jail.

CCTV footage of the incident revealed a different story. The footage captured Shane William Ryan approaching the victim, who was using a bench for his workout.

Ryan insisted that the whole mishap was an accident during the court proceedings. However, Justice John Burns, while delivering the sentencing remarks, pointed out that the CCTV visuals showed Ryan intentionally moving toward the victim and deliberately dropping the weight on him.

The consequences of the attack were severe for the victim. He suffered a non-displaced left frontal bone fracture, swelling on the face, chest pain, headaches, and a cut above his left eyebrow. Additionally, the trauma caused the victim to develop anxiety, compounding the impact of the injuries.

The victim chose to remain nameless when he initially talked to Daily Mail. “I have not told my mum and dad about it as I did not want to stress them so don’t want to say much about it,” he said.
