Car feel on me!!!!!

Hey i just figured id get on here and tell you guys about how my 1995 Camaro Z28 Convertible Fell on me today! I was changing the oil and transmission fluid and all goes well till i had the rear up and i had the cover off of it to change out the fluid to Royal Purple then when i was pulling on the rachet the car rolls of and lands on my side slides me on to my back and nearly kills me!!! Luckly my girl friend was there and jacked up the car!! Im ok a little brused and my pride is hurt a lil but im ok!!!! Im going to cherrish every second with her and my family! Dont get me wrong i love cars and thats my passion! Im going to continue to work on them for all the car enthuisest rock on!

Man, i hope you learned a lesson! You are lucky.
There have been many people killed from not supporting the vehicle properly.

man, glad your okay. I had a friend have a similar problem. We were actually swapping out the rear end, had jackstands under it, when one of the jackstands collapsed (harbor freight ones). Smashed his leg pretty good, but we got it back up and he was okay.

Glad your OK man, be a little more careful next time.

Oh, also, synthetic fluid for the rear is a nono.
It will turn your limited slip into a peg leg.
Just use regular 75-90 with some limited slip additive.
