Re: Safety Reminder- Jack Stands
Sorry to hear the bad news. You make an excellent point however,,,always make sure everything is right before you go under that vehicle. We've all heard or seen of people that used blocks of wood,,a bumper jack or worse, then climbing under a vehicle and taking an unnecessary risk. Most get away clean,, but too many aren't so lucky. How often do you see a car warming up in the pits with no one in the seat? Not often,,but it should never happen,,especially if the drive tires are up on stands and spinning! I know,,,, its common sense, but every once in a while you still see idiots doing this.
Never hesitate to instill a little safety in someone who needs a little guidance,, espcially younger drivers and friends who think they know it all. Remember how we thought when we were in our "invincible" years. Once again,, sorry for what happened to this gentleman,,,my condolences to his family and friends.
