Default Re: WARNING: BE VIGILANT

My Uncle, a mechanic of 35 years had a car fall off a front hydraulic bumper jack. It collapsed his lung and he had a close scare. I ALWAYS use jack stands!!!!!

Also in my cousin's VW shop back when I was in college, (many decades ago !) I saw a VW bus fallen of a hydraulic lift from 6 feet in the air.!!

Make sure you wiggle/rock the car a bit to settle the car or the stands or on the lift before crawling under !!!
