Just use dumbbells. They give you a better workout because the nature of them engages smaller support muscles and you can't cheat with your back. You'll prob only be able to bench 35lb dumbbells even though your missing the 45lb bar.

A lot things could've happened, you could've seriously injured yourself and others.
There are two techniques that come into mind when this does happen.
1. Lift one side higher than the other so the weights fall off the barbell
2. Or the roll of shame, let it sit on your chest and slowly roll down your stomach until you can properly sit up right, un-rack the weights then put the bb back

Literally, good thing though because they saved me. maned up and deiced to go today to the gym again. I'll be working out on abs today though. Hope everything goes good and no weights get pinned on me
