I almost bought the big one today.

I was under my motorhome today. The one I plan on using to travel around the country Teaching and playing.

The goal was to jack it up high enough so the frame is on blocks. I'm working in the same area for the next 2 months so i got a spot in a trailer park.

Without the frame being on blocks the motorhome wobbles to much when someone moves making it hard to stay sleeping. it's kind of like having someone shake you every once in a while.

Got the front jacked up and put jack stands on the frame. Then I went to the back. It's 30 feet long. An 89 Fleetwood southwinds.

I jacked up the back right side and everything was fine. Then I went to jack up the left side.

The guy that owned the park had a guy move his camper right next to mine. He got a little close though. When he put out his slide out there was only about 3 inches between the back corner of my motorhome and his which made it impossible to go under from the side.

So I went at it from the back. I used the Hydrolic jack on top of a cement block to raise it up to where it would take most of the weight off the shokes, springs and tires.

I just wanted to raise it up just a little more when it started to fall to the left. I felt pretty safe with where I was at because there was plenty of room for my body even though I was laying on my side.

What I didn't count on was how much the old springs and shocks would let the motorhome bounce down from being up higher and dropping.

Plus there were 2 curved flat pieces of metal about 5 inches wide coming down from the frame in the back. This made a difference of about 4 to 5 inches of less room had I been directly under them.

With the motorhome tipping to the left as it fell this metal part came right down on my ribs. I felt like I was squashed like a pancake. I actually got me twice I think because it rocked pretty hard. The shocks and springs are pretty weak. This is one of the things I needed to replace.

I couldn't get up at first and the guy that had the camper next to me said he was calling an ambulance. I rolled a little because i was still trying to figure out hoew bad i was hurt. After I stood up I realized i should have maybe stayed down.

Now i was up I told my nephew to just drive me to the emergency room. About half way there I wish I was in an ambulance.

I got out of the van and walked into the emergency here in Appleton and the first woman I talked to said I needed to fill out some paperwork.

I told her I was hurt pretty bad. I could hardly stand up by now. It was getting pretty stupid with the pain.

A nurse came up and took me directly to a room and they soon took my in for am MRI.

The good news is there are no broken bones. The bad news is it feels like everything is broke in my chest. Can't breath very good either.

Very happy to be alive though. The difference between the alternative was probably just a few inches. That motorhome is pretty heavy.

I don't know how long it will be before I can work again or play again. Both are out of the question right now. Right now it feels like never.

At ther first sign of something not right I'm supposed to get right back to the hospitol.

The camper that was parked so close got hit by my bumper on the way down. It put a dent/scratch on the side of his slideout of about a foot. Had it not been for him putting his camper/trailer so close I would have been jacking up my motorhome from the side and none of this would have happened. It could have still fallen but there was nothing there to squash me.

When i got back still in alot of pain, but with lots of percoset in me, he made sure I knew that the owner of the park had a guy coming to estimate the damage that was caused to his trail. I almost told him he should have parked a little closer and it wouldn't have fallen at all.

Bad luck. Not only got squashed but will have to pay the damage to his camper that was parked so close. My motorhome shifted to the left about 8 inches when it fell.

Anyway. Lucky to be alive. Doc said in an accident like that it's just a matter of inches.

The good news is I can still talk and I can still teach. I'm going to need something to do while I'm healing up so keep the calls coming in.

Still here. Geno...............

Man, glad you're still with us!

There are deaths every year from people being under vehicles not supported by jackstands. NEVER crawl under unless the vehicle is supported.

But I guess you know that now. :thumbup:

Damn you Geno! First of all you know you shouldn't have worked on your motorhome if you didn't have good access. I don't like that the other one was so close to yours to make it unsafe. Something is very wrong there. Second did you have the wheels and tires on while you were jacking it up? That way you have some protection if it falls off the jack. I hope you know not to remove them until you have the jack stands in place.

PLEASE be more careful in the future. DON'T take chances like that again! Wait until you have everything in place properly before working under your home. Get that other home away from yours!

You are very lucky and I hope you heal up.

A few years back, my wife had an employee whose husband went out early one morning to work on his car in the driveway because he couldn't sleep. The jack failed while he was underneath and they found him when the rest of the family woke up for breakfast.

Glad to hear you survived Geno.
Take care of yourself.
I wish you a full and speedy recovery.
 
I'm glad your ok, you got a good roll. In our shop we NEVER jacked up motor homes, we always had a stack (of 4-8) like pancakes...2''X10''s angle cut at at 45 degrees, they were screwed/nailed together and just just drove up on all four at the same time. THe only time we EVER used jacks in the shop was when doing a wheel bearng pack or brake work on a trailer, never a MH.

I had a friend in high school die the same way. Mike was 17 and had an old 60's beetle. He had it up on jacks instead of using blocks. His parents came home and his head had been crushed. They found him in the back yard under the car. Very sad situation.

Glad to hear you're ok Geno.
 
Darn it Geno. That is awful but the good news is you can still type. Seriously though, I am glad to hear you didn't get hurt even more. A 30 footer is a real nice size motor home and quite heavy.

Hope you will mend quick.

October 8 & 9th is the date for the White Diamonds (Big Calcutta) tournament in Lafayette, LA. You could stay out in the motorhome (because of the smoke in the room) until your match and run back and forth to stay out of the smoke. For nap privileges in the motor home, I could make sure you get called up for your matches. :D

Keep us posted on your recovery.
 
Glad you made it, I would contest having to pay for the damage to the other camper because he parked too close. He darned near killed you for doing that, make him sweat a little.

Look on the bright side , your name isn't being submitted for the quarterly Darwin Award , and that a memorial tournament isn't being organized in your name :grin:.
 
Sound like you barely avoided a brutal scratch... Glad you aren't seriously hurt... I would point out to the insurance adjuster that there is contributory negligence on behalf of the other RV owner and he should not be compensated for damages any more than you should be allowed to have him pay your medical damages.
 
Damn, Gene. Glad you're OK, it sounded scary as heck. One day this stuff and your shoulder will be behind you and you can fulfill your dream. Get well sir.

Hi there Jay,

I had the front on jack stands already. I put the back passenger side up and had a jack stand under it. As I was jacking up the last side I had to go under from the back because of the trailer right next to mine.

As I jacked it up to the height I needed the other side must have raised up causing it to tip to the left. I saw it going but thought I was safe becuase there seemed to be plenty of clearance.

On the frame about even with my chest was this dog gone 4 inch wide flat metal that kind of looped down from the frame and then back up. It was about 8 inched long. This was to my right so it didn't seem to matter but with it being jacked up an extra 1 1/2 feet and then falling down it really went alot lower to the ground than normal. Plus as it fell to the left that darn flat metal came down square on my ribs just below my arm pit. I was laying sideways. That's how much room there seemed to be.

The doc told me that it might have take only an inch or 2 and I might have split my everything all over the place. I still can't hardly take a deep breath and laying down is really terrible for the first 15 minutes or so. Sleep is almost impossible even with the Percocet. I hope tonight will be better.

I havn't been playing pool very much right now so I think i will be getting even more out of stroke.

I'm alive. For a few seconds as I was getting the life squished out of me I learned what it is like to feel like it's over.

A person can't even imagine the power of something like that coming down on them.

Thanks everyone for your comments. I need to stick around. I got alot of teaching and I hope playing to do yet.

I feel better already just talking about it and reading all the comments.

Thanks everyone Geno..............You guys are great.......

Glad you're well, Geno. At some point we'll have to connect for a lesson.
I kind of agree about the liability. If his slide out was in your space, tell him you're going after him for the accident it caused!
Be well,
Karl
 
Manny and I both are both glad your alive!!!, Please take all precautions when working around your motor home. We want you around for a long time to see Manny blossom into a Great player. Hope you can make it to Olathe, Ks sometime soon.:smile:

Thank God ou are OK, Geno...

The good news is I can still talk and I can still teach. I'm going to need something to do while I'm healing up so keep the calls coming in.

Still here. Geno...............
