April 1 may be you're luckest day!

I think Mike would agree. His jaw is fractured, his nose, his eye socket, some bone back in his face and something in his cheek are all fractured, too. BUT we know it could have been a ton worse.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I've never had one fail, but I'm sure interested in the failure analysis.

ITs lucky for Mike that he was not very attractive to begin with. He knows Sharon is only with him for his body mueba.gif wink.gif

Scary shit, I hope he feels better soon.

Wish you a speedy recovery ! Who would have thought a jack stand would give up?
Were the wheels still bolted on ?

OMG! My worst nightmare. Perhaps this is a lesson for the rest of us. I'm replacing my 35 year old jack stands tomorrow. Never trusted them anyway.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! smile.gif

It appears to have been the jack stand but I'll let Mike supply details when he's up to it.

I am absolutley shocked to hear this!

I am so glad you are (mostly) all right Mike. I am sending you positive thoughts for a speedy recovery.

This is going to be the first thing that goes through my mind as I slide under a car on jackstands tomorrow at the shop...
