I think Jared had that happen to him or someone in his shop did.

Best one I saw (working at a tire shop in Chicago in college) happened during the lowering process when someone only unlocked one side of the hoist. Of course, Murphy's law dictates the guy that screwed up would also stare outside the garage when lowering the car, rather than paying any attention to the hoist.
One side dipped low enough the car rolled right off the hoist and landed on the roof. Pretty sure everyone in the shop (me included) promptly went home to put on new boxers (and get cameras, and buh-bye beers for the guy we used to work with). |

Heard/seen pics of hundreds of 'em.
I've been in the same shop for two horrendous mishaps. One was a fully restored 1953 Corvette, the other was a 1960-something Rolls Royce Silver Cloud (bosses' kid did that one).

Holy shit. The one I saw was just some non-descript car of the day. I can't imagine if some rare/mint classic fell of the lift.
