After two unsuccessful hours, the crew finally gave up on rescuing Steve from the mess of rubber bands.
"He was attempting a 700lb squat using only elastic bands when they caved in on him. Poor guy never stood a chance" stated the first EMT to respond to the scene.
In the spirit of the newly formed "bouncy ball", the mass will be dropped off the Grand Canyon in an attempt at the world record for bouncing.
"He would like it that even though he has left us his body is still competing for records."
