Bump

Excellent Bump. I think about this every time I get under my cars.

Great bump. I saw my neighbor showing his son how to do an oil change using a OEM jack and I started talking to him and offered my jack/jack stands for safety. I wanted to make sure they knew I had it and were safe. He seemed grateful but wouldn't take me up on the offer.

Sad reminder. I had a wooden block split a few months ago that I was using to distribute the load for my jack stands. Thankfully the stands held beautifully. But this kind of stuff can happen to anyone. Stay vigilant out there.

This story is always in my mind as I use triple back up safety.
