It folded in the pinchweld/rocker moments before it fell off the jacks which were on wood blocks. Might of had something to do with the driveway being gravel, and on a hill. Glad I brought jack stands.

The tilt on my old Jack broke and pinned my hand between my rocker panel and a block of wood, I sat there listening to my bones crack.
