Sorry you got hurt, But I can see exactly what happened, You where to cheap to buy a set of 12 tons to lift it as high as you needed so you over extended the saddle bar to where the bottom was resting on top of the paw instead of being locked in a grove where it would have been locked and very unlikely to fail unless the side of the collar blew out I can see the orange paint of the bottom and ANy lawyer could too. So I really wouldn't attempt to make this about a bad product, There is no possible way if you had em set up correctly it would fail like that. you can not support a vehicle with the saddle sitting on top of the locking paw. It has nothing to do with how the stand is made. It was lack of common sense that got you hurt. I find it funny you guys complain about import jackstands when your toyota is made by the same people.
Last time I checked, yesterday, my Toyota was made in Japan not China- thus not the same people.
This is the first I've read this post. Glad you were ok.
