That's what happens when you don't properly
center the vehicle on a lift and one of the
feet slide off the frame.

...or.. the spacing makes it look like a wheel
lift was done without locking the arms. Hard
to tell.

It's a lot of fun operating two hoists, for safety they have a
shaft tying the two cylinders together, then we must use the air and
hydraulic controls together, it's a real art to raise or lower a vehicle
without it rocking back and forth. Many times I would hold my breath as
if that may give me super powers to keep it from shifting off the blocks
and from falling, it worked. There's no way to lock the arms.

Re: OOOPS! (no blood Dean)
 
I worked in one garage where I kicked the hoist's arms back in after the
last vehicle had moved off and the damn arm fell off!

Scared the living crap out of me!!!

The pins holding them on were stripped and/or broken off so a nut
wouldn't fit on the bottom to make sure the arm stayed in place. It was
just held by gravity pushing sideways on the pin.

I refused to work under it until it was repaired and the boss fired me
for it!

That was the last garage I ever worked in....

Re: OOOPS! (no blood Dean)
 
I worked in one garage where I kicked the hoist's arms back in after the
last vehicle had moved off and the damn arm fell off!

Scared the living crap out of me!!!

The pins holding them on were stripped and/or broken off so a nut
wouldn't fit on the bottom to make sure the arm stayed in place. It was
just held by gravity pushing sideways on the pin.

I refused to work under it until it was repaired and the boss fired me
for it!

That was the last garage I ever worked in....
