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....
