QUOTE(SirAndy @ Feb 11 2016, 01:36 PM)  If i remember correctly, he accidentally hit the release lever with his leg while he was under the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Which shouldn't be possible--but we all know the difference between "shouldn't be" and "is really not". I believe only the pin-lock stands are OSHA-approved, if that makes any difference. They have a much more positive lock than the ratchet ones. Too bad tall ones can be tough to find on short notice. (That reminds me, I should wander over to HF before I get under the car again...) When you're talking about putting yourself under a ton of metal, backups and backups to the backups are a very good idea. Using a couple of jack stands, plus the jack, plus putting a tire or two under the car, is not the worst idea in the world! I think I've already made enough smart*ss remarks about that 914world member needing face-reconstruction surgery, so I'll just say that we are all very lucky that he only needed to have his face rebuilt. --DD |

for my whole life I have always laid the tire under the car, just for something else to bounce off instead of my chest.
