    I worked with a guy who did this once but used a fork lift instead of a cherry picker. He was in a wheel chair. The car fell on him and folded him up like a soft taco. Broke his back and paralyzed him. Still gives me a tingle in my taint just thinking about it.
    My old firm had a case years ago where a guy was using the standard jack to change the oil on a Saturn SL. He was under the car and it slipped off the jack and applied pressure to his chest so that he way-too-slowly asphyxiated.

    I happen to (still) have a Saturn S series and have been changing the oil on it for nearly 10 years. It has served all 4 of my kids well. Yes- to get to the oil filter, it's best to take the right front wheel off, but a real floor jack and most importantly, a jack stand make this a very safe operation. The only thing I can figure is that the guy was slid underneath it to get the drain plug...but that can be reached without getting as far underneath as he did.

    We represented the Estate of the decedent...I never believed in the case, but I was super-far down the totem pole back then.
