Happens to the best of us. Glad you are ok.
Quick story. When I was 19, I was doing an engine job on a UHaul cube van. 370 Lima engine. That's a truck only engine based of the 460.
Had the engine hoist hooked up. All bolts out. I was standing between the hoist and the grill.
I began to raise the engine. As it broke loose from the transmission, the truck began rolling backwards......because you guessed it, I forgot to chock the wheels.
As the truck continued to roll back, the hoist tipped more and more over........towards me. Had the shop owner not run over and jammed his foot on the brake, I would have been pinned between the hoist and the truck.
I have never come close to repeating that mistake.
