Watching arm wrestling events late at night, I think to myself "how the heck do these guys avoid snapping their arm in half with all that pressure?" Luckily, I haven't seen an arm snap.

Last night during the Olympics, Armenian Andranik Karapetyan was doing a dead lift of 195 kg and the ultimate unfortunate situation happened. His elbow snapped.

This is so tough to watch ... and the scream he gives out after is one of the more horrific sounds you will ever hear.

Scott "Gator" Anderson from the Karsch and Anderson show has such a hard time watching these types of breaks, but we're going to make him watch it live on the air.

What do you think his response will be?
