Getting under a car that is only supported by a jack can be fatal. Nearly 50 Aussies have been crushed or killed over the last decade from getting under a vehicle that wasn’t properly supported. And over 160 Aussies are injured each year with amputations, fractures and crush injuries from not using a jack properly.

If you do your own repairs, avoid becoming one of these 160 Aussies injured or killed. Learn what you need to know to DIY safely in several easy steps.
