This happened today near Boston. The lift failed and this is what happened. I am glad no one get injured! A friend works there also

The lift seems to be working to me. Looks to me like the person unloading may have had a foot that was working incorrectly.

I don't get how the car fell because the lift failed? The lift didn't work so they thought they could back it off? i think they pushed it out to lower it and couldn't stop it... doh!!! Probably not really that hurt. probably damage it more getting back to the ground...

Wow...how painful to see that. I cringe to think that car may be discreetly repaired and sold "as new"...let's hope not for any potential buyers.

Yep... happens all the time. Damaged in shipping, they fix it and sell it as new. Doesn't show up on Carfax either if I am not mistaken.

Been to that dealership. It's down right next to Pat's stadium... Boch? maybe Nice folks to me.
Looks like someone left it in neutral when loading / unloading.
