My late father in  law who was a mechanic , had a mk 10 Jaguar come down on him years ago, lucky for him there were other staff around who saved him from serious injury. He always suffered with a bad back afterwards & had to leave the motor trade. I  always use axle stands as well as a trolley jack on the rare occasions I venture under a car,I have a trolley jack in both migs as the jack supplied with them I really don't feel is up to the job to even change a wheel. It really must have been an awful way to die , for this poor man.
