Just remember, jacks are safe. People are dangerous!

Me too about a second after getting out from under the carYes i do that as i have seen a jack burst once.
Hence i ither put a axle stand or two wheels under the side of cars I'm working on, better safe than sorry/dead.Me too about a second after getting out from under the car
Always put the wheel you are taking off under the car when swapping over if no axle stand. (and never but never get under a jacked up and unsupported car)Hence i ither put a axle stand or two wheels under the side of cars I'm working on, better safe than sorry/dead.
No matter what type or size the jack isAlways put the wheel you are taking off under the car when swapping over if no axle stand. (and never but never get under a jacked up and unsupported car)
That’s something I have always done, late father told me about it when showing me how to change a wheel when I first started driving.Always put the wheel you are taking off under the car when swapping over if no axle stand. (and never but never get under a jacked up and unsupported car)
Isn't that figure for the USA and includes other types of hoist as well and is over 10 years old from Forbes. I seem to be unable to find anything to confirm your figure for the UK which seems very high. Would you be so good as to provide a link please to where you got your figure for the UK10,000 people a year are seriously injured using car jacks in uk .

Like myself you must need a lesson on how to use Google. Must try harder.I suspect that figure is little more than figures dreamt up by someone....
And I reckon more folks are injured by not watching where they are walking each day than the spurious figure of 10,000... Especially as I cannot find anything from the HSE to substantiate the figure.
I could be wrong but don't hse only record work related accidents .not home diy or private ?I suspect that figure is little more than figures dreamt up by someone....

I can only imagine you must have seen the 10,000 UK figure on that reliable source facebook. As I can find nothing even when using meta's let alone google.I could be wrong but don't hse only record work related accidents .not home diy or private ?
