(Our news this morning) ---
Man was killed when the (Ford) truck he was working on, (probably in the snow), slipped off the jack crushing him causing cardiac arrest etc.
This has happened before in this area --- A fireman working on his truck during work hours, (work comp ??), had it slip off the jack seriously injuring him. A garage mechanic had the same thing happen which crushed him. (Later I heard the "look on his face" is etched in his rescurers memories forever.(
So remember to use jack stands, and or at the very least --- a wheel/tire(s) under the vehicle while working on it.
