Sure, after repeating it many times for the paramedics I pretty much have it down .

I am usually always super careful when getting under a vehicle, usually multiple fail-safes to protect me. I was working on my dads truck and had it on ramps. I got the chalks to block the wheels, but they never made it behind the wheels. Turns out the moment you pop a shift linkage loose is a bad time to realize the e brake isn't working. :epic facepalm: The truck (a big Sierra, thank goodness) came off the ramps (my feet were sticking out the front of the truck and I was laying on my side), and the front bumper pinned me and drug me about 6 feet before I could twist to lay flat to let it pass over me. I had to get up and run to the truck to stop it, then run back up the driveway to get my phone cause I was pretty sure I needed an ambulance.

So the result? a snapped right clavicle and severe bruising and contusions. I have to drive my moms suv for two months since I dont even own a automatic vehicle (unless Phil wants to loan me the Comso, LOL)

So needless to say, I am VERY fucking lucky I just have a broken clavicle and bruising, not a funeral. I am still pissed at myself for such a careless mistake..
