Some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed!

On Tuesday I was working around the yard trying to get a little order. I had a CJ5 on a chain moving it. I was laying on the ground when the Jeep started moving. I tried to get out of the way . The Jeep ran over my right leg between the knee and ankle.No broken bones. Just skinned all to hell. Finally feel about talking about it so you all know where I been at. As soon as I feel better we can talk about it. JEEEEZZZZ.

I had a 99ish Dodge 1-ton 4wd diesel on my trailer, thought it was in gear (swore I checked), undid the straps and kicked the chocks.  It took off and mangled my ramps on the way off, then mowed over some trees before coming to a stop...  Was really glad I didn't get caught up in that thing when it went.  Be careful...

One of our NAXJA guys had a bad day when he had a brain-dead moment and went to remove his rear driveshaft in the inclined driveway at his house.  No e-brake set, no wheel chocks.  He removed one pair of yoke strap bolts, removed one of the second pair and the driveshaft twisted out of the yoke with him under the jeep.  

 

He said he tried to roll out of the way of the fast approaching front tire but couldn't and used his arm against the tire to try to stop it.  His arm became a wheel chock...... it stopped the roll of the tire, but his arm skidded down several feet of the driveway.

 

You all said this thread is worthless without pics so............
