David Chesworth is young, fit, handsome and healthy. But he almost died on February 12, 2014, performing a gymnastic movement under improper safety considerations at another gym.

David talks unflinchingly about the warning signs leading up to the event, what should’ve happened immediately afterward but didn’t, and the first thing he thought about when the doctor told him he could die.

I hope you enjoy David’s story. It could save your life one day. Never be afraid to be an advocate for yourself and always be aware of your surroundings.
