My brother-in-law's brother was changing the oil on a Pontiac (Sunbird I think) in his driveway with the car on the factory "flat-tire" jack when the jack slipped out.

He's been in a coma now for 4 years. Should he ever awake, he will be a quadraplegic. Wife (and him) went broke after insurance topped out. Now she's divorcing him just to move along in her own life.

Please never put your body under a car with just a jack holding it up.

P.S. On original post I forgot to put in the fire/rescue guys said he was lucky all the wheels were on or it would have killed him when it fell (implying he was lucky to be alive, vice breaking almost all important body parts).
