How long will you take to mend? Hate to see you hurt. Good of you to remind us what can happen.

I'm a little confused. How do you put a car up on one jackstand?

Where was the stand placed?

Next time use 2 minimum to hold up one end of the car, or 4 to raise the entire car.

under the t bar crossmember. 2 stands would have definitely been better!

for those of us without concrete floors, and lifts, just saying , be careful!
