Re: Mechanic gets crushed under car

even though the customer shoulnt have been in the bay nor hanging off the jack....its still not 100% the customers fault!

in every bay ive been in, it states "EMPLOYEES ONLY" for one, and the other i totally agree on....have JACK STANDS peeps!

wow, that has got to suck to the 2nd power.

Re: Mechanic gets crushed under car

Looks fake... how the customer turned the jack handle to lower it, how the other mechanic didn't figure out how to turn it back before trying to raise it, and esp how the guy is like "oh well" and walks away at the end.

Re: Mechanic gets crushed under car

I don't think he got crushed just pinned a lil bit lol

Look at the car, it looks like a regular car with regular suspension.. idk if it could be that low to crush him but if it was a lowered car then yea that foo be smashed lol

Re: Mechanic gets crushed under car

theres no way it would even hurt him. any stock car has enough space to slide under. i didnt even have to jack my car up when it was stock, i just crawled under there and changed fluids no problem. now i dont fit anymore with it lowered lol it sucks sometimes.

Re: Mechanic gets crushed under car

just looks like it was rehearsed and played out, IMO.
but gearbox does make a good point.

Re: Mechanic gets crushed under car

I'm pretty thin, and I can't fit under my car stock.... Maybe if I could be pinned, but I know the only part I can fit under is under the bumper.

Not to mention I thought it looked like the guy was on a creeper.
