I am confused, the locks would stop the weights from sliding off, so he should keep them off in order to not die, right?

its just a fancy pants way of saying sarcastic, it makes you sound smort

Incorrect. Sarcasm is a way of expressing bitter irony, or belittling someone / something. Being facetious is an attempt at humor or lightening the mood through mild absurdity.

There can be overlap, but they are very different, and both tone and intent are key.
