The best part about this video isn't teaching them a new skill (although that is important), it's teaching them to be confident in their ability to solve problems and get the work done themselves. So many people never even try to do it themselves because they figure it's beyond their ability, but how would you know that if you don't try?

There are some Safety Video's here in KZbin!

[@starskymedia]

Very nice demonstration. I know that the post is stationary and isn't putting the same downward force on the hi-lift/farm jack as what a 4WD or something does, but I think its always good to practice safety and first use a baseplate or something to stop the jack stand from slipping, and secondly for your kid to be more careful around the handle kicking back up - nobody wants a broken jaw!

[@siarlbychan]

It was a great effort and ingenuity and determination first. But my concern was when I saw him using the widowmaker. I have one of those and know about the broken jaw.

[@starskymedia]

@@siarlbychan absolutely, they can be pretty dangerous!

[@ericl2969]

The jack won't "kick back" under this kind of loading where the post is being pulled against friction, because the post won't "retract itself" back into the ground if the handle is released when a pin isn't engaged. But yes, the warnings here definitely apply when lifting a heavy load against gravity. You guys talk of broken jaws. Well, here's another warning. I knew a guy who was griping the top of the jacking beam with one hand when a pin slipped after he released the handle (his jack was dirty and poorly maintained so the pins did not engage reliably). He permanently lost the use of his thumb when the handle flew up and shattered his thumb against the jacking beam. Ever since that happened to him, I hold the beam with my thumb wrapped around it in the same direction as my other fingers, thereby leaving the "front" surface of the jacking beam bare (no fingers in danger if the handle slams into the beam). It's become a habit for me.
