Using bars should be last resort a lot of exercises that people use bars for can be done with other equipment or methods so that they are safer than a dangerous version with a spotter & bars

He could have used a leg press machine instead with such light weight

For bench press people can use two dumb bells instead of a bar that can get trapped on top of them until the weight exceeds the heaviest dumb bells

a goblet squat puts the weight in front of you not on your neck
