Looks like one of the arm on the lift either broke or the bolt holding the arm went. Either way, glad none was hurt. The truck on the other hand....

Second look, the bracket at the end of the arm broke off.

Saw this on break.com just now. Could not imagine what the owner is going through, it'd break my heart. Agreed though I'd hate to know my truck caused someone elses injury or death. Guessing he bumped something when he walked over? But still, he was doing exhaust work and ya know how you have to shack, rattle, and roll exhaust to remove it.

At first I thought that was you who walked in on the other side of the truck.. Looked like he was wearing some red / camo sandals
