I broke 2 ribs because of a broken ratchet.
Was installing a header on my first wife's '88 Inline 6 Jeep Cherokee. Installing the last couple of nuts on the header. I was leaning over from the front of the Jeep reaching to the firewall. Tightening up the nut on the very end when the ratchet broke. With the sudden release in pressure. My body dropped about 3" into the radiator cap. I laid on the garage floor for an hour before I could move again.
This was on a Sunday, and the wife needed the Jeep for work on Monday. I still had about 3 hours worth of work to do. I did finish it that day. Paid the price for it too.
