I was told today that he was crushed under his car while working on it in his garage.
Found by his wife. I believe there is a fundraiser for him.

Alan was crushed under a car tipping off its jack stands 2 months ago. His wife luckily found him. She had put up a site to raise some money to help w/ the hospital bills, but it is down now. Let's all hope that he does heal and is able to enjoy this life. Or you can shoot him a pm on this board to wish him a speedy recovery.
High quality jack stands - not the Chinese junk - then the tires, then the hydraulic still in place. And still don't feel completely comfortable.
Wow; that sucks. My car is on jack stands right now (with a scissors jack from a Humvee as backup), and I'll be underneath it again today and over the weekend as well.
I too avoid Chinese jack stands and floor jacks and power tools and hand tools and BMW parts, etc., etc. Don't trust the metals and/or the manufacturing processes.
actually i was under a mercedes and it rolled over and banged me up bad
