Abstract: On December 8, 2006, Employee #1 was working as a mechanic, or automotive technician, for an automobile dealer. He was walking under an automobile lift. He had not fully engaged one of the locking keys for the safety jacks, and the lift slipped down 6 inches and locked into the next safety latch slot.
