Acharya could have been saved if...
Acharya was trying to lift a 270 kg weight with the help of the gym trainer and other people from the gym when she lost her balance. Everyone tried to hold her but the weight was so heavy that no one could handle it. If Acharya had thrown the rod back, she might have been saved but she held the rod till the end due to which the rod fell on her neck. The gym trainer was also slightly injured in this accident. While falling on the ground, Acharya's head hit the mouth of the rod.
