I look forward to the photos. Hopefully they repair it correctly.
Even when lifts fall normally, they take 10 seconds or so to go from max height to the ground. It's a painfully slow process. Considering this one was just leaking, it probably took 4+ hours to go from air to on top of the car under mine. Only thing that really fucked it up was gravity.

Unless you were completely asleep, or passed out drunk there's no way you'd get hurt in that situation. You'd get bored waiting for it to hit you before it actually got low enough.

It's 6:30 PM and 106* outside, I'm not working on shit in this heat. I would have to do it in the day time when it's about 5-6 degrees hotter. On my back, on concrete... definitely not happening. I'd rather just pay someone to do it.
