Its’ easy to see the value of SAFE JACK! Safe Jack is all about making jacking and supporting vehicles safer.
I saw a report today from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that showed an estimated 4,822 persons injured in motor vehicle jack failures and of those, 74% were due to the vehicle slipping or falling off the jack. Of these, almost 2500 were moderate to serious. There were 223 amputations and over 700 fractures.
