Forgive me if this has already been posted and I hope this was not a member.

 

Wondering if it damaged the frame?

 

Painful. I feel for the guy.

 

Isn't he a member on here, that was painful to see.

 

He is a member on here, gsfdream. I hate when things get re-hosted and shared, he uploaded this on his own YouTube channel - Bullets Garage.

The car is already at the body shop and needs new door skin, rocker panel, and CF side skirt. Definitely a lesson learned, he already purchased a new and more robust jack and learned from the experience.

 

Ouch. I subscribe to Bullets Garage. He seems to really love his F.

I haven't checked my F, but the lift points on cars are usually pretty well marked underneath.Painful lesson for sure.

 

It hurt so much to hear that crunch. I have to give him props for posting this, he obviously knew it would be sent around the internet but maybe not as much as it has - This has been posted multiple times in almost every car facebook group and instagram group chat I'm in. In the least this will hopefully help a few others learn from his mistakes rather than repeating them themselves.

 

doh

 

Well at least he didn't injure himself

 

Costly learning experience.

 

Sorry to say but he had it coming. Upon closer look at the original on YouTube, it is apparent two pucks were stacked up to lift the car.



Based on the positioning, the pinch weld was also not used. The jack did not fail. The user did.

 

He released a couple of follow-up videos on his YouTube channel explaining everything in detail. There are jacking points installed on those pinch welds, so that wasn't the issue.

The hockey pucks were to make the jack work, because it wasn't low-profile enough to contact the jack pad without hitting the side skirt. The top hockey puck slid off, causing everything to crash down onto the jack (which had no clearance). Very unfortunate but definitely a learning experience for him and hopefully others, like me.

 

My heart

 

Yea the hockey pucks, and he got not one, but two of them stacked together... at least it was not his head down there

 

Accidents happen and it was very unfortunate.
He will be fine, the car will be fixed and ready to go.
Just subscribe to his channel and support the guy!

I totally respect the man, he's awesome!
