The lift arm on the driver’s side rear slipped. This is why it’s important to show new mechanics/technicians to properly lift vehicles and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on doing also. Also when you lift a vehicle a couple of inches off of the ground, shake it around a bit to make sure it won’t move.
Be safe!

This is why I check the lift points before going under a vehicle lifted by someone else.
From the 2 years I worked at the dealership shop, this scenario never left my mind I could be crushed like a pancake any second from a lift arm failure. That and some of the seasoned techs would put the arms a millimeter from slipping completely off the pad always sketched me out. Sure it never fell off but I need a good inch of buffer room before I feel safe.
Did he have his safety glasses on.
New people don't realize how important it is for a vehicle to be secured firmly on that lift that that arms are not gonna move or shift out of place when I trained new people I preach safty first always
This is why you raise the vehicle up 6 inches off the ground then shake the shit out of it, then raise it up all the way.
i dont care how many reasons n excuses people give to opted for 2 post lift. that thing is a disaster waiting to happen. i will never ever ever own or work under it.
It took forever for him to get his ass out from underneath there I'd have been diving and shit soon as I heard that
This is why you pay attention to ALI training and check lifting points and shake check the car before you lift it.
If you are a new mechanic, this tip could save you a lot of stress and this potentional shit situation:
After you rack the car, lift it just a couple inches off the ground. So that all 4 tires are just an inch or two or three above the ground, rock the vehicle. It should NOT fall or break. If you a vehicle you racked doesn't fall when you shake it a couple inches off the ground, it shouldn't fall 6 feet in the air. Always shake test the vehicle on your rack before putting it above your head. Not doing this is so fucking reckless it isn't even funny. There could be any number of things wrong with the vehicle that you don't see at first glance. Don't assume. It could cost you
Usually it results in the vehicle being completely destroyed
Check & double check & check again 🤯
That shop is dirty safety hazard waiting to happen
I bet it wasn't ok in his underwear! Lol
I had a lift "near miss" once. Began lowering the vehicle after unlocking just one side of the lift. The vehicle tilted at a 45-degree angle, before I realized my mistake, and stopped the lift. I promptly returned the vehicle back to level height, and started over. But this time unlocking BOTH sides of the lift before lowering the vehicle. Unlike the vehicle shown here, I stopped the lift before the vehicle shifted out of original position. No harm came to the vehicle, to anyone, or anything else.
Almost became a smash burger
Now that’s a “DAMMMIT BOY” moment if I’ve ever seen one 😂
I bet the frame went
He needs to clean the liquid off the floor. He could have slipped and fell.
Most new employees will be immediately terminated for their incompetence to properly set up a customer truck on a lift and it almost falls off! Thank goodness nobody got hurt!
That shop looks poor and shit af. Doubt the 2 poster hoist is even rated for that vehicle gvm
I've had the load shift on a truck. Remember to have the same height for every jack point so the lift hits all points at the same time
Wasn’t a close call for his underwear
Gotta put the hoist arms in front of the frame bend on them or it’ll slip right off
If that base plates any indication that's only a 6,000 lb lift. Hopefully it's not chineseium
Lift it up about 2inches of the ground and do a shake test
Close call except his shorts 💩👍
That gmt800 threatened hoss
No way either one of them are okay.
we had a hydraulic lift that jumped at the top. cleaning crew just came in and barely kicked the arms under lift. i was a bay over when it fell. the cleaning crew guy had his arms up like he was gonna stop it.
Good thing he wore the brown pants that day.
I hate these types of lifts give me one with tracks
Mechanic and truck ok. Mechanic's laundry? Unrecognisable.
yeeeehawww and stuff
That'd put the shitters right up ypu.
Employee update: he is now working as a gas station attendant. Lol
Seen this a dozen times or more. I’m sure he cleaned his drawers out. LoL
And the only thing ruined, besides the lift, were his pants!
how new mechanic became old mechanic
"New" mechanic said it all lol
before I retired, I checked my lift safeties daily and serviced the lift monthly, including floor bolt torque and chain lubing.
He better check his pants
Legend has it that he is still running
What the fuck happened?
Clean up where u are working so your not making a mess allover the shop
Brown pants day, be prepared.
