Well, she finally got me back for the rhino lined hood...lol. Let me set the scene:
VX is nose downhill in my driveway. I am under the truck, head by rear driver's tire, feet sticking out drivers side facing forward. I have all the bolts out for the rear drive shaft, just trying to get it to pop out so I can install my newly rebuilt one. After the PITA the front was, I had the sledge and chisel at work.
Few taps, its hot and I am getting pissed. One good whack! ****POP****CLANG!!!, VX is now parked on my left shoulder, face crammed in the side of the tire...
I am by myself, no phone, wife taking a nap with the youngest boy. Holy crap moment. That show "I shouldn't be alive" popped into my head as I realized what had happened. I think I may have yelled "SON OF A BITCH" in a self deprecating tone. I managed to move my legs back under the truck, I tried to wiggle out, but as I move downhill, so does the truck, making it worse.
Somehow, I used my right hand to pull the truck up hill/stopped it enough for me to wiggle out.....AGONY!!
I then watched the truck roll over me, (good thing I have those 34s, plenty of room) down the hill across the street over the curb, **BANG** over the stop sign and into the neighbor's yard.
I remember seeing the drive shaft pop out as it hopped the curb! Mission success!!!!!!(Half cup full kind of guy)
I stumbled inside, woke up the wife and told her she had to drive me to the ER. ABout that time the doorbell rings, some guys driving by saw the truck in the yard and came to tell us. THey saw my shoulder, helped me get the VX back in front of the house and the parts out of the road.
Xrays came back nothing broken!! Doc thinks I tore some fancy word tendon that is right at the junction of the shoulder and the chest. I have tingling in my pinky/ring finger. I feel like a douche bag for not thinking of locking the hubs or setting the ebrake. What a dummy, life lesson learned. I was a few inches from being dead, if it had hit run over my head........
I will post some pics when the bruising comes through, I see ortho tomorrow.
