A friend of mine nearly died after an Isuzu Trooper fell on him. Of course, it was on a trail in Moab, the truck had broken and they jacked it up. but before stabilizing it, my friend crawled under to work on it and it fell. 6 people LIFTED the truck off him, and he knew he was in bad shape, but was able to talk those around him through first aid and stabilizing him. Took way too long for lifeflight to get on site. And during the helo ride to a hospital my friend DID die twice... That was almost 2 years and three surgeries ago. He is a tough guy, retired Army. But the thought of crawling under his Jeep just to change the oil scares him.
