So i was at work on sat not even working on a car and a lift fell on my damn foot. Its was freak thing that happened and a faulty lift in my opinion. A co-worker was working on a lifted jeep wrangler. R/R lift arm was stuck in the frame of the jeep about 3 feet off ground and when it broke free , it came crashing down on my foot. 5 fractures , 1 sprain and 11 stitches. Picture is too nasty to post so ill spare that , but work my car will now be halted again for awile ...... :doh:
