Thread: Car crushed me today

Wow, so glad this thread had a somewhat good ending.........it could have been so much worse! You did something most of us have been guilty of doing, and maybe by you posting this you will save someone else's life.

I have seen concrete blocks crumble, wood kick out, and cars bend cheap jackstands. I have also seen people jack cars up on dirt or gravel and the earth giving way so the stands fell over.

This should be a wakeup call to everyone to please be careful because sometimes people don't get the second chance like Matt did. Glad you are ok bud.

PS, if you don't mind Matt, I want to post this on another forum where we sometimes get people who are just starting out in the hobby. They should benefit from this.

Milk crates but only the metal ones plastic ones are too soft nowdays . . Hey Matt glad to hear your safe and dad was nearby for help . Rule never work under auto with out someone nearby just for safety . I get under with 4 stands and a floor jack and ready to leap at any moment .
