H was using a bottle jack to change a flat. The spare's stowed under the truck so when he crawled underneath to started wiggling it free, the truck fell off the jack. Lucky for him (not to mention his wife and two kids), he'd put a log under the wheel. The van caught it by 1/4 inch which stopped the jounce enough that it didn't totally crush his skull.
He wound up with a severe concussion, but it bled out under his scalp, and not into his brain. Busted his jaw, and cracked his skull a bit. He was very, very, very lucky. Didn't need surgery, or even wires to keep his jaw together. Did have to grind a molar or two to fix his bite.
Doctor says he shouldn't be here.
I'm just glad I didn't have a funeral to go to.
