Default Warning about doing work under your car.

A few months ago in Hot Rod mag I think it was ,there was a accident that happened to a fellow and just two nights ago the same thing took place to a buddy of mine's Relative .

Both guys where under the front of there car's doing some wipe down and clean up from the driving season.
Both cars where Manual Trans, jacked up on the front only and set in gear to be kept from rolling.

The near fatal flaw in both of these situations is that the battery was left hooked up!

With both guys wipping down there headers near the starter there wrist Watch shorted across the nose of the starter and the car cranked itself off the jack stands and onto them!!

The guy from the hot rod story some how managed to get himself out on his own with a crushed skull and a dislocated Shoulder, my buddy's friend we do know if he's gonna make it yet!
