Potential Darwinian customer.

You may as well have a look up to see if the guillotine is still functioning from the end user's point of view.

These people are obviously producing an heir & too many spares to get away with it!

Proof some people don't think and can't be told.

Should add to his message on the side of the truck "dying under the wheels"

I meet a guy that wasn't so lucky, broken back and permanently wheel chaired.

I know of a man who retired early, in the 1980's

Sold his business in Kalgoorlie, and went to live by the sea side

Tinkering under his car, jack fell, and he was killed

And one well liked Townsville weather forecaster died that way a few years ago - working under his car on his day off & something slipped.
A neighbour's son was crushed in a mining company's workshop in Rockhampton - not a nice way to die. Taking short cuts with safety is never a good idea. One good thing with towing a van means there are a few more blocks of wood to use for stabilising jacks.

From memory the Darwin awards are only handed out to those who have died before they bred. Unfortunately that character didn't make the grade.

I have self leveling . It lifts the tyres off the ground . But I ALWAYS use a stand when working under . Ive often looked at hydraulic legs and thought of bolting / fitting a strong bar or limiter there so if it drops ? It doesnt drop enough to crush anyone!! Especially once the wheels are taken off !!
