Im paranoid about a car falling on me. I never am sure if the jack points are legit even though it states in the manual. I'm ready to bolt if need be.

The worst thing that happened was I was working on loosening up a rusted bolt under my truck and a flake of metal fell into my eye. had to have someone drive me to an ophthalmologist asap. My nose was running, my eyes were hurting like a mofo, scratched up the surface pretty good.
I have a tendency to get shit in my eye.. my entire life.

Seems like getting eye protection and quadruple checking your jack stands are key things to do...stay safe. Oh, also make sure to get a spring compressor apparently lol.

cleaning my IAFC with carburater cleaner with that tiny red extender.
the cleaner shot right back into my eye. run into the house flushed it under water for 15mins, then my bro drove me to ER for treatment.

It didn't hurt actually, but scary enough. now I wear safety goggle all the time

Actual friend death experience. Back in the college days when "we" were bunch of poor and cheap "ricer" boys with our slammed accords, one of our buddy had a jack that slipped while being under, he got crunched. He never made it back out on his own. 'nuf said...
