Or at least that's where the interwebz claims this happened....

That's going to be costly

Happens more than you think...

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

When my dad worked at another job there was a guy he worked with that had his suburban fall off. I believe he got a new one out of the deal.

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).

My brother's father-in-law has a lift in his garage. Coolest thing you can have. Just better make sure you put those 4 pucks in good spots or you're gonna have a bad day.
