CrossFit athlete drowns during CrossFit games

And why would you have them swim after a 3.5 mile run? In hot ass Texas. You do the swim first.

So many bad decisions here.

I don't have an issue with crossfit, even if it's not something as optimal as weight training, they people that do it like it, and it gets them in shape.

This is an unfathomable level of negligence. RIP to that man.

I like CrossFit they do too much. But it’s fun and gets you in top tier shape.

Why u dont have 2 boats behind the swimmers at these events

Stupidity

This. Highly doubt crossfit is dumb enough to make them do something like this without paperwork to protect themselves.

What paperwork

I can't believe noone saw him right there

Probably signed a no liability waiver before the event

Bluff term.

You can't exclude liability for death cause by negligence.

I imagine after this, they might consider, employing some lifeguards. and maybe having the swimming section be first as opposed to doing after they run several miles. seems so easily avoidable that even with waivers being signed, i can see them still getting convicted based on gross negligence.

yep, exactly what i'm saying, even with a waiver, gross negligence if proven would invalidate it.
