When I was a boy the father of a girl who live in the save valley as me and caught the same school bus, was working under his Range Rover, the jack failed and it rested on his chest killing him.

 

At the time I could think of no worse way to die, suffocating and without any breath in you lungs to call for help.

 

Lets all NEVER work under an unproped tipper body, or any other situation where you could be crushed, axle stands or large logs under a jacked up vehicle only takes a few minuets to install.

The unpropped body point is something i always worry about! Ive been making a point of sticking the prop in a lot lately!

 

The "it wont take me a second" attitude has to be one of the worst choices we ever make.

 

It may never happen? it does!
