I've personally seen a car flipped on it's side before because someone didn't set the lift right. It was a car that was getting parted out so no big loss....

But that right there is awesome

They probably thought the car was front engine and adjusted the jacking points accordingly.

Doh!

It was at a Goodyear tire center. I saw this on Elisetalk.com. Poor guy was replacing his Advan A048's with some quieter, softer Goodyear F1 GS-D3's. Heh.
