One of our Friday Night Gathering guys has a prosthetic leg (some disease). While working on his beautiful Mopar muscle car the jack “slipped” when he was under it. Broke a few ribs and whatever else. Please be careful guys, use jack stands, wheel blocks, you all know the drill. No safety short cuts, Mick Sent from my iPhone
