Get one of those jack/jack stand combos. $40 +/-
I try keeping my phone close in case the Jeep/car falls on me. I also keep a cooler close by.

I wasn’t using my jackstand jack, when my truck fell on my hand.  Phone wasn’t close, my neighbors are 1/8 mile away.  I could reach  the jack handle and jack up the truck with my left hand.  I learned my lesson!

Probably close to his phone...

There was a report in the AJC of a woman changing a flat beside the road; the car fell and crushed/trapped both of her hands.  She somehow managed to call 911 with her toes.

He was 82 years old. He could have been on blood thinners and bled out.

I learned my lesson about blood stoppers long ago, campfire story maybe. I also have had close hand experience with those grinders more than once, having saved an employee from having to get transfusions once we got him to the ER after he let a wire wheel get into his forearm (super nasty), it was bad enough it stopped the motor. I carry a small pouch of Celox in my wallet at all times, and blowout kits in all my vehicles and boat, along with them being stashed in several places in the shops and the house. Also, one of my biggest things about working at home, or alone at all is keeping that damn cell phone on me, not sitting it on the work bench and getting under something or walking off.

its cheap insurance boys, like i said, ive seen it work first hand.
