Aaarrrrrrghhhh! Help,help!
That's what made me look up and see the young chap over the road squashed under his VW after it rolled off the ramps! Luckily because on ramps it was wheels on but nevertheless he was in a bit of trouble....laid sort of on his side getting slowly crushed,struggling to breathe.
Thankfully there was another chap on the front also,so we tried lifting first. No good.
So I had to let the car drop back on him and run for my jack.
Anyway I guess him being slim helped a bit....he has rib damage and a bit bashed up. The hospital reckon he wouldn't have done too well if he had been under much longer.
Lucky we were around.

Be careful!

Thing is this chap was using ramps so no jack to fail. I guess the handbrake didn't hold.
