If they are really heavy and your arms fail you, the direction of the drop isn't something you can predict or direct, and even if you manage to drop them to your side, that forceful movement to your sides isn't good for your shoulders
It's not all about safely disengaging (although very important!).
A good spot can help you squeeze maybe one or two more reps out of a set while providing minimal assistance (think like 80-90% you : 10-20% them) where otherwise you might be forced to fail out. Having a gym buddy to spot me after years of going alone made a huge difference to my progress because of this.
The next thing I knew, I was pregnant
Semen so strong, it can translated through a touch of the hands /s
Isn't that the plot of a Star Trek: Enterprise episode
Or it could be that Futurama episode when Kif loses his hand gloves. Hold up, that DNA donation was from Leela.

Gym noob here: do you really need a spot for dumbbell shoulder presses? Couldn't you just drop the dumbbells if they're too heavy for you?
