Never work under you car alone

[Tactical Dave]

You guys need to read all the post associated with the story. Jack stands WERE in use from eyewitness reports. You do know what ASSuming does?

I do agree with always using jackstands.

Just saw the updated post (that was made all of 10 minutes ago), Ill change the OP..... all the posts before this one were indicating that it was not on jacks...... so I would not call it assuming..... even on the corral people we asked not to make commentes about saftey ect ect and even the article said it slipped of the jack so not sure how that is assuming much........

Things came to light, the post was changed, lets leave it at that.

That's Terribly sad...

I work with jacks and jack stands at the shop I work at daily. I am guilty of not using jackstands at times. Actually all of us at the shop are sometimes.

And I do cosign with the person that said to put the wheels under the vehicle if possible as well.

I have 4 jackstands, and two lifts in the pole barn. I never go under before at least or or two jack stands are in place.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. Thoughts and prayers, of course.

Everyone has to die of something. The sad part is when it happens too soon and for a senseless reason.

Blessings,
Bill

A fairly good buddy of mine died years ago when he and his brother and his dad were triming a neighbors tree for them (older coulple) and he and his brother were holding ropes on this VERY large branch that was like a foot thick or more and his dad was cutting it. When it fell for some reason it came towards him and he frooze and it fell on him...... whats really sad is that his mom was also outside watching........

I feel bad because I was one of the last to talk to him and I used the time to give him greif about driving a Ford.......
