Message	My friend has his old Bronco up on jackstands while he was putting a new hub in the front. When he got the rotor on, the jack stand slipped or collapsed or something. The truck fell and landed on the tire/wheel the he just happened to have laid down under the truck to keep it out of the way. The rotor came down and pinned his ankle to the ground, JUST enough to make it impossible to move, but not breaking it. His sister came out and had to jack the truck up to get him out. The rotor sat like 3 or 4 inches off the ground, broke the skin but did no other damage to his ankle. Needless to say, he no longer works with his foot under the rotor.
