[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 14965426, member: 10303"] Does "almost" losing a leg count? I was working on a rear axle problem on a Ford E-300 van and like an idiot I didn't bother putting jack stands under it. It was only supported bu a big 12 ton garage jack. I had just finished and had gotten my leg out from under it when a neighbor's kid (that I never even notice as being around) turned the valve and dropped the van. Missed my thigh by less than an inch. The sharp rear brake mounting flange would have cut right through my thigh. That's the closest I aver came to a serious injury. Now I won't get under anything without putting stands under it first. I even have some 4X4 wood posts that I put inside my BendPak lift posts just in case a cable or lock fails. [/QUOTE]
