Doubling up the jack stands doubles the capacity.

This is one of those posts that made me say “Oh no!” out loud. Somehow seeing videos of psychotically dangerous looking stuff doesn’t do that but this does.

I hate jacking the car back up to remove those things when I'm done working on it. This seems like it would eliminate that tedious step.

how are you supposed to jack up a tall truck, and aren't they those recalled jacks?

There are perfectly good axles right there that they could have used. I don't know how they have a jack that goes high enough to do that.

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

Even more horrifying when you realize that those are Harbor Freight jackstands

If you've never been on a ski lift, I can confirm for you that even a moderate push to one seat will make the seats down the line sway or bounce as it travels along.

It's also an instant ban if ski patrol sees it.

Safety glasses? Steelcaps? Never heard of them.

My parents had me do stuff like this with a big iron pole. Couldn't even be bothered to get a hammer to go with it.

I don't think glasses woudl've done anything against a rock that size anyway.

Maybe they wanted to lift the weight off the axles. Stilla a pretty :gonk: way to do it of course.

Regardless of the size of the boulder*, rock chips and bits breaking off the face of your hammer continue to be a thing

*this one appears to be a boulder the size of a large boulder

Judging by the tool marks on the other side, it used to be the size of an even larger boulder.

Eventually they get it small enough to use as a road paving slab. It wastes a lot of material but the effect is nice.

There was a recall on one set of jack stands, let’s say “Model A”.

Harbor Freight got “Model B” jack stands to replace those.

Model B was subsequently itself recalled.

That’s it. That’s the joke.

That reminds of the time I did something very similar but with a hatchet. Fortunately for me it passed by my ankle with only the back end bumping the boney part there. Hurt a little but was millimeters from being way worse. I changed my hatchet technique after that.

I think that's the most suicidally dangerous thing I've seen in pages. I wonder how you work up an act like this. How did the second plane get in the air without a wheel?? So many questions.

Edit: apparently she's called Gladys Ingle, she was the only female member of the 13 Black Cats stunt team, and she died at 82 (presumably not by falling from a plane). Can you imagine asking your gran what she did growing up and she digs this footage out?

The worst part is the landing, imagine a bump and being launched forward into the propeller. The second seat even appeared empty.
