That is horrible. What a f***ing idiot. Did he walk away from that or was he killed? It looks like it did not quite go down all the way to the ground. Also what body shop uses a regular jack that was a bad idea.

It looked staged to me...
Maybe I'm being insensitive but I think most of those "security camera" videos with the clock running in the corner and everything happening perfectly in the frame are put ons.

My floor jack does not come down that fast or easy. This is completely staged. This is only believable to someone who has not been under a car. Also, a professional shop would not have a car supported only by a floor jack.

Yeah this post is crap. Anyone with a 2+ ton jack knows you have to twist the handle to release it. That has been a standard feature for a very very long time.

+1 It DID look staged, you can see the guy even twist the handle in order to drop the car!
