FEATURING PHIL ‘TITANIUM’ ROBERTS
BY DARREN NICHOLHURST @daz_the_bullIf you saw the previous article with Phil, you
were likely horrified at the tragic accident he was
subject to, during a live strongman competition.
Unfortunately, during an atlas stone event where
he was loading the stones onto their platforms,
the competition came to an abrupt tragic end
when the fourth stone, weighing a ridiculous
160kg, was dropped from his clutch due to cramp.The stone came hammering down onto his lower
leg and shattered it clean in two, in front of a live
audience. Thankfully, the medics were there to
assist him immediately, and he was carted off to
the hospital to start the long, arduous rebuild
of one of Britain’s most loved strongmen.PHOTOGRAPHS: JF MEDIA SERVICES
