car repair safety

[auditude at get.net]

I've noticed an increased amount of news shows on TV reporting
people getting trapped under their cars while working on them.

One just this past week, had a woman lifting a full sized van off of
her pinned husband, with her bare hands.

Another showed a guy who's face was all swollen from being
pinned.  I remember thinking that there seemed to be more cases
of this lately.

Paranoia is a good thing when working with lifting cars springs
under tension.  Eye protection is important too.

Be safe,
