Sorry to hear about that man.
I'm curious - did it give out because of the dirt giving way? I would think "no" because you said it was on plywood. Just curious what part was actually unstable. I do exactly what Greg said - jack stands where I need them then just a little pressure on the jack to serve as a 3rd support point.
Sorry again and pass along our thoughts...
Ouch thats gotta hurt... That is why I always to a push pull test with the truck in the air and the wheels still on it to make sure that sh!t dont happen
Wow. My prayers are deffinitely with him. Hope he gets well soon.
Its crazy to think that something like this actually happens, I mean I KNOW it happens but just hearing about it makes it hit you hard.
wow ,sorry to hear that.hope he gets well soon .txarc ,i had this happen to me when i was 16,i was pulling the tranny and did exactly what you said ,shook it off the pins and the stands were unsteady .car dropped on me and broke both arms and sternum.i was lucky,i guess.i put my arms up too stop the fall on me ,didnt work ,i came out looking like edward scissor hands.Be careful guys ,o also dont use scissor jacks either.
