Default I was changing a flat and the wind blew the car off the jack as I was changing it,
almost took my legs off. What a stupid design.

That's why you always put the spare or the flat under the frame rail.

Default And I will never make that mistake again. Good thing I had the donut on the hub.
Brake caliper rested on the inside rim of the donut till I could get it up again and put the rim under the frame. Live and learn.
