Cranker, just wondering how lightweight manual trolley jacks and manual wheel braces are safer than what we have?

Peckstar again you only read the bits you want to, and quote back even less.

Every car pitted at least once, for tyres, fuel & a driver change, and not an injury in sight......

Lets get back to basics, manual wheel-braces, lightweight trolley jacks, and a five minute minimum CPS.

People are only getting injured in the haste to get back out there as fast as they can......

(Oh & close the pits to CPS during Safety Car periods too)

Onboard jacking systems & pneumatic rattle guns only exist as time saving devices......

QED.
