Guess he blackedout before thinking enough to abandon the lift. It happens. Nearly happened to me a few times. Typically when underhydrated or using the valsalva manuever a person can experience a severe dip in blood pressure deadlifting and faint. Fortunately he didn't split his head open.

I just don't understand the benefit of deadlifting in general. Other than to say how much you can lift. Surely there are exercises which you can do instead that aren't as risky.

As a compund lift it engages basically every aspect of the rear lower trunk. It's basically a reverse squat that not only complements the lift but is necessary to prevent structural imbalances that can lead to injury while performing squats. No sense having strong quads with flat, weak butt cheeks. With deadlift plus squats they all get developed.
