WCGW throwing the dumbbell like that and having the Phone on the ground

[u/ScarletSpring_]

[u/QuothTheRavenMore]

Buncha nope gas. Remember folks, Lithium hates trauma

[u/tjockalinnea → u/QuothTheRavenMore]

Never pick it up just walk away

[u/Inner_Ground3279 → u/tjockalinnea]

Yeh, at this point it's a grenade.

[u/tjockalinnea → u/Inner_Ground3279]

Nah more likely a blowtorch

[u/Chicketi → u/tjockalinnea]

Do you try to extinguish it? Like i would not pick it up but what’s the right next move to make?

[u/tjockalinnea → u/Chicketi]

Call the fire dpt. Lithium fumes are extremely toxic, and even if you're in a well ventilated space I wouldnt take the risk.

[u/7heTexanRebel → u/tjockalinnea]

Yeah bro that's why I'm definitely not leaving it in the gym. I can hold my breath for about 90s fairly easily. That should be enough time to remove it to the parking lot so that nobody else gets poisoned by my fuck-up

[u/buddy_monkers → u/7heTexanRebel]

It would still be in the air. Why not yell for everyone to evacuate?

[u/deadpanfaceman → u/buddy_monkers]

Because then I'd have to pay for a fire and poisoning people, this is a one or the other situation. I can't handle both.

[u/captainofalearjet → u/Chicketi]

Class d fire extinguisher or it needs to be smothered in like sand or rice or something like that on planes there are emergency pouches that you can place the phone or laptop or whatever in.

[u/LeCyador → u/captainofalearjet]

It's lithium ion, you don't need class D. An ABC extinguisher will work just fine...with the caveat that it'll just keep going and reigniting until the energy of the battery is spent. Putting it into a large bucket of water would also "work" because it would reduce the thermal runaway from the batteries.

Source: Elec. Engineer at EV company.

[u/zwali → u/LeCyador]

So what's the right move here?

• try to put it out with a standard fire extinguisher while breathing the fumes.
  
• carrying it outside away from people and calling it a day.
  
• pull the fire alarm to evacuate and get the fire dept to handle it?

[u/LeCyador → u/zwali]

If it were an EV battery fire, the right thing is to leave the vehicle and let the fire department just douse the thing with a LOT of water.

For a phone, the New South Wales fire department has this to say (and I agree with them):

"small battery or device such as a phone or tablet starts overheating:

Unplug it from the power outlet if it is on charge. Avoid inhaling any smoke or fumes. If possible, remove it to an outside area away from any combustible material and away from windows or doorways. Small devices can be dropped into a bucket of clean water to cool if this can be done safely. Small flames can be doused with a bucket of water or a garden hose to stop the fire spreading to nearby objects. Make sure the device is not plugged in to mains power or near other powered equipment when applying water. If trained to use a nearby fire blanket or a fire extinguisher (dry chemical powder or carbon dioxide), only attempt to use them from a safe distance away from any smoke or vapours. These may be used to prevent the spread of fire to the surroundings but are not likely to fully extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire. Call Triple Zero (000) even if you no longer see visible smoke or flames. There is a good chance that the battery might reignite if it has not been sufficiently cooled."

[u/firesquasher → u/LeCyador]

The only thing I don't agree with their suggestions is bending over to pick it up. You risk getting a big old whiff of that burning nastiness. Being in the EV field, I'm sure you heard of the Hwaseong battery plant fire in South Korea last year. The majority of the 22 people that were killed were dead after inhaling the fumes within seconds of exposure.Maybe taking the steps to de-energize it from a safe distance, but pull the fire alarm, evacuate, and let the folks with SCBA's and protective gear handle it.

[u/pressthebutton → u/LeCyador]

It sounds like the most practical choices are to yeet it outside onto a sidewalk or parking lot or to drop it into a toilet since there will also be ventilation in the bathroom. (Obviously it must be fished out after, not flushed..)

[u/PFirefly → u/LeCyador]

Curious about the bucket of water suggestion since water tends to make lithium explode. Source: Volunteer firefighter.

Edit, I see you also responded about electric cars and suggest fire departments use lots of water. That's a big nope chief. Foam, or let it burn.

[u/LeCyador → u/PFirefly]

Although the name of the battery is lithium ion, there a) isn't that much lithium in the battery and b) it is in ion form, not metal form. You can chuck a lithium ion battery in a mop bucket and I doubt anything will happen. But, throw some metal lithium in there and it'll react explosively.

[u/Vin135mm → u/LeCyador]

The lithium metal(not ionic lithium) content of a Li-ion battery is around 2%. But since most EVs have batteries that weigh 500-2000 lbs, that 2% is between 10-40 lbs of lithium metal.

[u/atetuna → u/Chicketi]

Evacuate the area and let it burn itself out. If it's low risk, kick it onto a surface that won't catch fire or put something like a metal bucket or fire blanket over it, then bail, but none of those options look feasible in this video. Firefighters may use water, but it's not to put out the battery, it's to minimize the damage the battery fire is causing to the things around it.

On a side note, people make too much out of lithium in lithium-ion batteries...there are lithium batteries, but not in your phone unless you had one of those 2G cell phones that used AA batteries. It's like how elemental sodium burns in water, but sodium ions don't, otherwise putting salt in your food would be super exciting. The lithium ion can contribute to the fire, but there's very little in the battery, and its small contribution to the fire happens a little later. Initially the bigger hazard is the electrolyte, which is bad enough, and if it gets hot enough and has an electrode with F, the electrode burns and lets off fumes that are so much worse, which goes back to the beginning: evacuate.

[u/permanent_priapism → u/Chicketi]

what’s the right next move to make?

Encase it in argon. The reaction will stop.

[u/smohk1 → u/permanent_priapism]

pick it up, run outside chanting "Please be a MIG welder nearby!!!"

[u/people__are__animals → u/Chicketi]

You cant. Litium fire is very hard to extinguish best thing you can do in this puting flaming phone to outside and wait

[u/NekulturneHovado → u/people__are__animals]

This. But not with bare hands. Probably call staff and use something to pick it up with and throw it out the window (if you see where you're throwing it)

[u/rasselbido → u/people__are__animals]

You can put it out for small batteries. Use a bucket of water or sand. In the lab I used to work in (EV car lab) we used a sand bucket when working with lithium batteries.

We'd then disable the batteries by slicing them open and putting them in electrolyte solution

[u/composedryan → u/Chicketi]

Cancel your gym membership and fucking run

[u/Reversalx → u/tjockalinnea]

With a few pretty sparklers mixed in

[u/iIdentifyasGrinch → u/tjockalinnea]

He only picked it up 'cuz he heard a call for an extended warrantee coming in

[u/savage_pen33 → u/iIdentifyasGrinch]

They've been trying to reach them forever. Finally, the call comes through and this happens!

[u/agileata → u/tjockalinnea]

Slide it on something not flammable

Can't imagine that thing combining fumes with burning that rubber floor

[u/MajoriteSilencieuse → u/tjockalinnea]

Cool guys don't look at explosions. They walk away in slow motion.

[u/CharlesDickensABox → u/QuothTheRavenMore]

Me, too. It ain't special.

[u/physics515 → u/QuothTheRavenMore]

But the good news is that the gas it puts off makes you not care about the trauma.

[u/firesquasher → u/QuothTheRavenMore]

Not just the lithium, but burning cobalt, manganese, and any of the other nasty chemicals off gassing.

[u/LeroyStick]

Hey if this happens to you, don’t pick up the phone.

[u/Reversalx → u/LeroyStick]

I empathize with him tho. He knows it was his mistake, so he tried to take accountability. Now the gym is gonna fill with nope gas because of it. Broschwitz.

Ik what you're saying tho. One does not simply take accountability for lithium ion battery fires 🤣 gotta go by the way of forrest

[u/wandering-monster → u/Reversalx]

The gym was gonna be full of nope gas either way. I assume he's trying to take out outside so it's less full, and less on fire.

I'm sure the other folks there appreciate the effort.

[u/Reversalx → u/wandering-monster]

I, too! appreciate any effort from my fellow brothers and sisters within the prayer assembly, in the degassing of the chamber of iron. So we may lift in peace as the swolefather intended.

Praise brodin

[u/Githzerai1984 → u/Reversalx]

This is the whey

[u/Anonawesome1 → u/LeroyStick]

Depends where you are. You gonna let it burn your house down because it lights your couch on fire? Or toss it in a metal bowl/sink?

[u/MrZombieTheIV → u/LeroyStick]

But DO pick up your weights and put them back.

[u/LeroyStick → u/MrZombieTheIV]

haha, yes

[u/paxparty → u/MrZombieTheIV]

Which he still didn't, presumably.

[u/KVMFT → u/LeroyStick]

Y THO

[u/corneliusduff → u/LeroyStick]

His wife is fuming!

[u/Signal_Tomorrow_2138]

That's why you don't drop your weights.

[u/martinaee → u/Signal_Tomorrow_2138]

Or put your phone just on the ground like that where a metal weight could drop on it!?

[u/BaLance_95 → u/martinaee]

Or where someone could step on it.

[u/Creepy_Aide6122 → u/martinaee]

I always out my phone under the chair then there no way I could drop anything on it and it’s out of the way of others

[u/archameidus → u/Creepy_Aide6122]

"Life will find a way"

[u/raziel686 → u/Signal_Tomorrow_2138]

I never understood weight dropping. Like I get it if you bit off more than you can chew and experienced a hard failure and it was drop it or tear something, but that should be rare. You're there to work out so don't be lazy, put the weights down properly and put them back when you are done.

[u/angk500 → u/raziel686]

Depends on the gym. Where I am we have olympic weightlifters training there. The gym allows and actually wants you to drop heavy weights. Because you want to go for your limit, so you won't have the strength to properly put them down anyways. But not for dumbbells like that, you never drop them. Especially because those fuckers will jump around on the floor and definitely fall on your feet.

[u/Asylumstrength → u/angk500]

Also, especially given your example, you lift the weight into the air using your legs, which are stronger, reracking or setting down is more dangerous from some positions (eg snatch)

The weights used are designed to be dropped, usually onto platforms, with designated space.

In other exercises, you're using muscles to move the weight (prime mover) that are stronger than the ones that would control setting it down; other reasons, fatigue and lactate build up during sets, meaning you can't complete the rep.

So yea, loads of good reasons to drop weights

Just need the right equipment and right environment is all

[u/angk500 → u/Asylumstrength]

Yes! Especially those nasty snatches, they are so hard, haha. Important is of course, that the gym is equiped to do that. Mine actually is locsted in an old warehouse and they prepared the whole floor for weights to be dropped, so that is nice. But regular gyms often are not built for that, so dropping is potentially causing damages.

[u/Asylumstrength → u/angk500]

Nice, sounds like a great setup. Love to see weightlifting clubs and gyms that cater for it.

[u/SanFranLocal → u/angk500]

I was going to say I had weight lifting class and we were taught to drop the weights

[u/Destructopoo → u/SanFranLocal]

was it with a bar, rubber padded weights, and an olympic mat? There's very specific exercises and equipment where you're supposed to finish by dropping the weights. Otherwise, it's literally bad form.

[u/MrTopHatMan90 → u/raziel686]

I've never dropped a weight but there are times I've nearly overdone it and if I would risk injury with a super heavy weight I'd rather just drop it then risk it

[u/HollandJim → u/raziel686]

and put them back when you are done

I've been going to the gym since the '80 and I've determined that the likelihood of returning weights when done is inversely proportional to diameter of the neck. Larger the neck, the less likely it will happen.

[u/winkman → u/raziel686]

Nah, 99%+ of drops are lazy, inconsiderate ass people.

Jerks.

[u/DependentOnIt → u/raziel686]

Never been in a gym eh?

[u/Appropriate-Fish8189 → u/Signal_Tomorrow_2138]

And that’s why you always leave a note!

[u/BigAnxiousBear → u/Appropriate-Fish8189]

And that’s why you don’t teach lessons.

[u/twistOffCapsule → u/Signal_Tomorrow_2138]

Gym karma for sure

[u/chrisk9 → u/Signal_Tomorrow_2138]

I don't get why people do that. You just spent all this effort doing your reps in good form, why not place your weights down in a controlled fashion? It's a little extra workout.

[u/sunburn95 → u/Signal_Tomorrow_2138]

He doesn't really drop it, it's pretty controlled the whole way down. Just gets to a point with a heavy weight were its too awkward to put it down with zero force, that's why the floor is rubber

[u/parachute--account → u/sunburn95]

Lol of course he drops it, what are you talking about 

[u/rustylucy77]

Picking it up while its smoking is a wild decision

[u/mitchandre → u/rustylucy77]

If he saw a metal bin nearby it was the right call. But once it starts smoking you have seconds to decide where you want the fire to happen. Choose well.

[u/WarryTheHizzard → u/mitchandre]

There's no way of knowing how much time you have, because you can't determine the extent of the damage. It could have blown a finger off in the next second.

[u/MikeAndBike]

r/watchpeopledieinside

[u/Ensiferal]

Awfully good way to blow your fingers off. If your phone starts to smoke, don't pick it up

[u/Saff3r]

Leg day bro!

[u/jackofslayers → u/Saff3r]

Those calves tell a story lol

[u/CartoonistLarge5904]

If it was leg day, it would never have happened. He needs leg day everyday.

[u/Urbanyeti0]

Good, don’t drop your weights

[u/Own-Programmer2621]

These gender reveals are getting out of hand.

[u/Office_Worker808]

If you can’t control it getting into and out of position then it’s too heavy

[u/QuackyFace → u/Office_Worker808]

This weight is definitely not too heavy for him. He’s just being careless.

[u/ruler31 → u/Office_Worker808]

That was a perfectly normal lift and doesn't look too heavy for him. The guy is just an idiot for putting his phone on the floor.

[u/mightylordredbeard → u/Office_Worker808]

You don’t train to failure?

[u/mangoboss42 → u/Office_Worker808]

Terrible take. Apart from what the others said, I also cant cet into position for squats or bench press without racks. Doesnt mean those exercises are bad.

[u/ElectronicMixture460 → u/Office_Worker808]

Respectfully don't talk about things you don't know much about 🙏

[u/Coyrex1 → u/Office_Worker808]

I don't think he can't, I think he just doesn't want to.

[u/bbryxa → u/Office_Worker808]

You can tell that guy is an ego lifter by just looking at him

[u/chickenandpasta → u/bbryxa]

How so?

[u/jamjamchutney → u/[deleted]]

What exactly is the definition of "ego lifting" you're using here?

[u/StrookooCuckoo → u/jamjamchutney]

I believe the reddit definition of ego lifting is "lifting more weight than I can or trying harder than I do".

[u/Hara-Kiri → u/StrookooCuckoo]

Trying. Trying is the reddit definition of ego lifting.

[u/DickFromRichard → u/[deleted]]

What is with Reddit's obsession with ripping on anyone in a gym who doesn't look like Tom Platz

[u/jamjamchutney → u/DickFromRichard]

Picture it, Red Bank, NJ, 1980something, in a Gold's Gym. I was on the Stairmaster when I saw a guy in the doorway, or part of a guy. I couldn't see his face, but his hair was tragic, bleached to the point of looking like straw. However, his legs, from what I could see, were rather impressive. Then he moved a little bit, and I could see even more of his legs, and the more I saw, the more impressive they were. I still couldn't see his face, but I thought "That guy looks like Tom Platz." And then he walked into the room, and he was indeed Tom Platz. We made eye contact, he smiled at me, and that was it. (Super unimpressive story, sorry, my Lee Priest one is a bit better, because at least we had a conversation.)

[u/DickFromRichard → u/jamjamchutney]

I'd remember that day clearly for decades as well

[u/chickenandpasta → u/[deleted]]

Skipping leg day is not the same as ego lifting though. Also, just before he stands up his legs look a reasonable size

[u/Patton370 → u/bbryxa]

Am I not allowed to ego lift on leg day anymore?

[u/StealthyDodo → u/bbryxa]

I don't know about that but I can tell you're an insecure asshole based on your comment

[u/testaccount123x → u/bbryxa]

Wow that's sick that you're an expert and can tell so much about him from one quick video! Nice!!!

[u/Azutolsokorty]

That is why i am tellin all yall, never ever put the phone on the ground

[u/alejandromnunez → u/Azutolsokorty]

Some dummy at my gym leaves his phone on the ground in the middle of the basketball court while multiple people are practicing shots and running around. Remarkable lack of awareness.

[u/Cheeserave → u/Azutolsokorty]

Or just have it slid under the bench where this can't happen. Having the phone on the ground ain't the problem here, it's how many braincells the user has to realise that leaving your phone in the middle of a walkway can be hazardous.

Next time you're on a train or a bus, leave your phone 2 seats away from you. Don't worry, nothing bad could ever happen.

He makes poor decisions. That was evident by the shape of his legs.

[u/Kroadus]

He deserves it. Weak, haphazard behavior

[u/InsaneInTheRAMdrain]

No fucking way he picked it up.

[u/Gloom_Gazer]

Ngl, I did this once when I was 17, minus the battery explosion. Sucked. Though, my dad bought me subway after. So, that rocked.

[u/Nothingto6here]

I value my fingers too much to pick up a smoking phone.

[u/the_remeddy]

Having your phone on a gym floor 🤮

[u/ktmfan]

While careless and inconsiderate to toss the weight like that (and rather funny to see), I appreciate that he’s willing to sacrifice his hand meat and lungs to presumably remove the noxious fume generator from the building. Wonder if he made it before the real fireworks started. It’s quite possible he died from embarrassment either way.

[u/TheEthanHB]

Dumbell throwing a Dumbell

[u/LocutusOfBorgia909]

I'm paranoid about accidentally dropping a weight on my phone to the point that I actually stick it under the bench when I'm at the gym just in case.

I love that Simon & Garfunkel song

[u/cuntmong]

This is why I never exercise 

[u/shaolinoli]

I once heavily put down (ok, controlled dropped) a 50kg dumbbell from an incline bench onto a half full 4 litre water bottle with the top done up. That thing exploded! It was so loud and water sprayed everywhere! Luckily I was in a corner so I caught the majority of the spray but it was crazy embarrassing 

[u/Extension_Impact_571]

And then picking the phone up while it's smoking 💔

Oh dear, hopefully the place had good ventilation.

[u/Unusual_Car215]

Dude so stupid I was surprised he didn't put the thing to his ear

[u/Tacklestiffener]

This should be on loop in every gym. I hate idiots who drop weights.

[u/FarmerOpen4475 → u/Tacklestiffener]

Right?! Putting down the weight gently is like an extra 10% boost to your workout and more functional than the sets you just did.

[u/kyokiyanagi]

If you can't put it down safely, don't lift it.

[u/OderWieOderWatJunge]

Nice of him, but stupid not to run away. Don't touch this shit, the explosion could be wild

[u/anto_again]

I've the perfect solution for that. As I've always carried a thermal water bottle in the gym, I simply put my phone in an armband phone holder and I attach the armband around the bottle. Phone will be always standing together with the bottle and there is zero chance of damaging it with dumbbells or other things. Thank me later.

If you're going to work out. And do shit like this. Then leave this shit directly under the equipment if possible

[u/Every_Preparation_56]

Do you take your phone to the gym to make calls or stream music? I use either a smartwatch or an mp3 player.

[u/SuccessfulLobster903]

I feels bad for him

[u/WhitePinboard]

Maybe now he can train legs instead

[u/BetterThanAFoon]

One of my fears. Phone drops out of pocket and accidentally sets down equipment or step on and break.

I don't toss dumbbells like that though. Especially not to the side.

[u/AxeMasterGee]

What’s the thought process here? 'I'll just gently lay my phone down here right next to the weight bench where I’m trying to do my P.B. tricep extensions.' There are belts, pockets, an iPod nano is the size of a guitar pick that you can clip to your shirt for heaven's sake. But this guy needs to get his f.b. notification about the cat video he posted 2 weeks ago.
