Agreed. There isn’t any real life threatening exercise danger with this machine. It is designed that if you stay under the lifting line, it can’t get to your throat and the bar falling down the front of your body if you lost it would land on your midriff and legs. Might bruise you but low chance of death possibility.
About the only way to be in a life threatening situation with this machine would be if you put a bench in front of it and tried to do inclined bench presses because if you missed getting the bar back on a resting peg you might come short and the pegs are behind your head. Then if you lost it the bar would be coming forward onto your head and neck. But using this machine for that when I’m sure at that time of day a reclined bench press would be available and sacrificing safety for laziness ain’t real bright.

I would assume he was at an angle, doing a bit of an incline press.
