QUICK TIPS - How to Crash the Right Way

Nobody wants to crash. But sometimes we don't have a choice in the matter. Here's 4 Quick Tips that will help you should you find yourself suddenly upside down, in the air, in your vehicle.

1. As a passenger all you want to do is grab your seat belt(s) and relax your muscles. There's nothing you can do at this point, so there's no reason to tense up and possibly pull a muscle, sprain a tendon or hurt other body parts. It will all be over soon, so relax.

2. If you are a driver and you are trying to save the vehicle from rolling, make sure your thumbs are outside of the steering wheel. When you land the steering wheel can rip out of your hands and if your thumbs are inside the wheel, you can break a thumb...not fun.

Do not place your thumbs inside the steering wheel.

3. If its a HUGE crash and there's no chance you're going to save it, do the same as the passenger. Grab your belts and relax.

4. Most importantly, whenever possible...try not to crash!

BONUS TIP

Which ever side you're on, NEVER put your hands on the roof of the vehicle. The roof can crush in on you or an arm can slip out and get cut off by the car.

We are glad you are okay, Valerie!

AGM electric jack

Love my AGM jack!!!! Works amazing!!!

From San José Del Cabo, Baja California Sur, MEXICO.

A couple of days ago, I submitted my application to become part of the AGM family and be able to distribute all of their products in Baja California Sur. My first purchase was a gas tank for a client who owns a 2025 Polaris RZR Pro R and this was the result!!

Good product

Doesn’t fit some floor jacks

Before purchasing I called AGM and told them that my floor jacks have a bracket covering the axle of the front wheels. I was told the Jack Rod should fit past the bracket. It does not fit so I had to make a modification to my Jack. Other than the Jack Rod is a brilliant easy to use safety implement

Durable, Well Designed! Must Have Tool for Euro and Side Skirts covering most of the Pinch Welds.

I just received my second Jack Rod Dual Lever for my mobile repair business!

The first one arrived quickly, and I was able to use it right away on a VW with tight jack points and no room for a jack stand. The Jack Rod solved that problem perfectly! Unfortunately, shortly after that job, my Q50 was stolen—with the Jack Rod inside. Oakland police found the car three days later, but the Jack Rod was gone. :,(

I had to bite the bullet and buy another one, it is 100% worth the investing in that tool. The Jack Rod makes my job easier, faster, and safer, especially for Euro cars and models like the G35/350Z, which have side skirts covering most of the pinch weld areas.

This isn’t a tool you have to treat delicately. I’ve tossed mine on the floor multiple times, and thanks to its durable metal coatings, it’s hard to scratch or dent. Eventually, I plan to get another 3.5T Jack Rod so I can jack up both sides of the front or rear of a car and have Jack Rods under both sides.

Thank you, AGM, for designing such an awesome tool that I use daily!
