    my s4 fell on me! (seriously)

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    soo i guess after pounding my car on the streets for so long it struck back .... i was puttin my exhaust back on since it was off since i went to the dragstrip earlier this week and i had my car on ramps in the front and jacks in the backs and while working on it it fell on me..... i watched it fall and had time to react so i took a deep breath and turned my head to the side and put my left forearm on it and it came down on me and i was loosin air quik with very lil breathing i screamed for help from my mom but she didnt hear me so i made a decision to rip my arm out from above my head and get my phone from my left pocket and i quikly called my mom , she came out frantic and i somehow managed to teach her to use my jack but she didnt understand about the twisting of the handle for it to lock so i yelled the directions and by the grace of god she understood .... she jacked up the car and i pulled myself out not a moment to soon because i had started to get very dizzy. she called the ambulence they came took me to the hospital. i think i tore the muscle in my left arm cus its still hurting but within 3 hrs i was out of the hospital with no internal bleeding or broken bones.... just the muscle is really torn .. some bruises on my chest and abdomin, and a chunk of meat missing on my right knee probably lodged in my car somewhere haha and my left arm around the wrist is all tore up from scraping when i managed to yank it out but im fine in bed now luckily

    just thought id share my case of monday night crap!
    oh and i was under the car for like a minute and 30 sec and how i did not die i do not know but thank god im ok ..... soo the moral of the story never work under your car alone and always quadruple check the jacks and what not (which i did btw) and if a freak accident like mine happens to you remain calm get your phone and call for help if you dont have it scream and yell and pray like i did (until i got my phone)

    just thought id share and be safe guys dieing at 18 like i almost did via s4 isnt the way to go .... and i finally realize how heavy this car is hehe but thank the lord im alive and minorly injured instead of dead

    thanks for reading and goodnight and godbless guys/gals my pain killers are kicken in now so im getting drowsy lol

    Re: my s4 fell on me! (seriously)

    Sorry to hear. I always wondered if someone has ever done that when I am under my car. Thank god your mom was home. I know my friend works under his car and he lives by him self. He also never has his cell in his pocket when working because his work shorts don't have pockets. I'm sure, having this happened to you, it will never happen again huh?!

    wow, way to be sympathetic jerk. The car did fall on him technically, and he did say he supported it properly and checked it multiple times.

    Glad you're ok now. Were you using a hydraulic jack? If you were, in the future, don't ever use them to support the car if you're crawling under it...hydraulics fail and shit like this happens. Always put in on a jack stand. Good thing you came out ok!

    Re: my s4 fell on me! (seriously)

    Glad your ok. I'm assuming because he had ramps up front and jacks on the rear is the reason for this Use jacks on all side always. Also, put your spare down there, that way if it falls you can breath and call for help. If you havent yet..... go buy a lotto ticket

    ditto, my buddies dad was saved by a spare tire when his jacks failed. I always have a spare tire under the car with me and set my tools in it.

    BTW is your name "Hyperlite" after the wakeboarding company?

    When I lived in an apt, my wife had a 93 Camry and I would use the factory jack to jack up a corner to do the brakes. The first time the whole car slams down on a rotor is kind of scary, but the next few times, you don't feel as bad...

    I hated that car.
