I saved a guy’s life one day. He had jacked up his car without chocking the wheels. I explained to him why parking brakes are not reliable. In the middle of the explanation, the car rolled off the jack. Fortunately, he was standing beside me when it happened.
People tend to think that there is enough clearance under the car to protect them. Not so. When the car comes down it sinks on the shock absorbers before rising. I knew a woman whose mechanic boyfriend was killed that way.
Humor?
