Saw someone working on their car, older dude was fully under it doing work. His kid was assisting. Car was on a backward slanted driveway, car jacked up a foot or two. There was nothing behind the tires to help keep it from moving. I fully expected to hear someone was crushed to death in town from my nosey coworkers with police scanners.

It'd take 2 seconds to make what you are doing just an extra bit more safe, but I guess this guy would imagine seeing your dad crushed by a car as character building.

It takes surprisingly little to get a car fall off a jack when it's on even a tiny slant. Years ago, I was pulling off a flat tire and in enough of a hurry that I thought the small slant to my parking area wouldn't be a problem. Nope, just as I got the wheel off, the car decided it had enough movement to shift a bit and tip off the jack onto the ground. I deserved that, and can't imagine ever not blocking a vehicle even when I'm not sticking my torso underneath it.

Saw a little OSHA OC in New York City last week. We were on the 15th floor to avoid the early morning New York noise and these jokers were demolishing the building next door the slow way.

Sound is a plus as it was what I woke up to...

I did this sort of thing at about 19. Both rears off to put in new shocks, rear end up on two jacks, chocks in front of the front wheels, and I didn’t even think about the car moving in another direction, the way forces might cause it to move other than rolling forward. I lived in a place with no parking so i borrowed a friends driveway to change the shocks, it went down pretty steep to the backyard but at the end it was only a couple of degrees off flat in front of the garage so I parked it right there on the flattest part.

The violence of fitting new shocks in a car that hadn’t seen them replaced for many years, hammering at the spanner to get those bolts to move caused a sort of sideways movement of the car body and one jack falls over, the other leans and the fuel tank is on my chest not crushing me but holding me - the second jack is taking the weight on one side, just lower than it was because it’s leaning.

Thankfully my panicked screaming got my friend and his wife out to get the other jack under it pretty quick and I scooted out quicker than I’ve ever moved. The next day I somehow convinced myself to go back under there but I was still scared of it. I made sure to chock front and back of the front tyres, and put the tyres under the side of the car so if it fell it would land on them. I also made my friend stay there with me for at least an hour, instead of going inside with his PlayStation.

I love that "it was going to crash" only after the car fucks up it's first decision to avoid the obstacle by veering instead of slowing down for a few hairs to get a better velo/vector data. Maybe elon should re-invent flow charts for his software team.
