The point is correct. The hoist is made for the load to set on blocks or some other type of locking mechanism. You should not go under a car suspended on cables running through a pulley system.
I mentioned my place of employment in an earlier post. Everyone has pounded into their head starting the day they are highered, you never, ever, for any reason, walk under a suspended load. It is a one time fire-able offense. No exceptions. No excuses accepted. We have never had to fire anyone and it does not happen.

I also need to add that the cables on a 2 post lift are meant to equalize the 2 sides and the hydrolic system actually does the lifting. ALWAYS lower the car to the safety stop (the clicking sound heard while lifting the car) |
