they always say if it was 1" this way or that what would happen but it WASNT.
just be happy, celebrate and in your condition a extra round of pain killers.

i bet it hurts even to shit.

the only good from harbor freight is their jack stands.

try to have a cell phone with you, if it would do any good.

I bet you won't do it again. I'm sure it sucks to laugh, or sneeze, or cough right now, but it sounds like you'll eventually be as good as new. For that we're all grateful. As you know, it could have been MUCH worse.

seriously, glad s2knoob02 is ok and a big to your 2 friends for no doubt saving your life.

This has always been one of my fears, and i rarely use jackstands. Although when I do something that requires taking off the tire i always put them under my car just in case, but ill definately be using jackstands now, thats scary...

Glad you made it alive.

Nobody should work under their car without a jackstand. In fact I put my winter wheels next to the jack stands just in case the stands fail.

quick tip that i was taught..in addition to jack stands..whenever i jack it up and remove a wheel, i place the wheel in a place where it can help prevent the car from crushing me in case everything else fails...like right under the side sills next to the jackstand or under a suspension piece thats not being worked on...

im paranoid..

i get nervous when walking under a car while its on a shop rack thing...(think...accordian effect + human body = owwie)
