I have this same fear, unfortunately due to my Spitfire falling on me. When
the back of the car slipped off the jack, the seam under the rear bumper
(sharper than any knife in my house) cut through the top of my right hand
severing tendons for my middle, ring , and pinkie finger.
I am proud to say I now own one of the nicest 3 ton floor jacks available.
Be careful!
Peace,
John
P.S. The only positive from this experience was having my middle finger
straight up in a splint for 2.5 months. Made it very easy to respond
honestly to certain people without the usual social implications.
