[DeTomaso] So you think you had a bad day at the shop?

I didn't see the aftermath Jeff. They said it "just fell off".
Their shop insurer sent a guy out to inspect it and he had nothing to 
say either.
Rating was 12,000 lbs.

Something flexed?
Something was missing a pin?
Guy just plain set the pads too close?
other?

        Those were almost all 2 post lifts with the spreading arms. And
     the
        posts hadn't failed.
        One of my customers had an F150 fall off a 1-post so I was
     expecting
        that type of failure.
