    If a set of ramps is rated for a certain weight, you should be able the use them and they should not break period, regardless of what they're made out of. The rhino ramps are good for low clearance cars because they have a low angle, I've used them countless times on my vette and cobra, guess I got lucky they didn't break.



    I guess he should wait until he's killed by his car falling on him to file suit?

    ive had a set for a few years now. Never ahd issues. Ramps are great for oil changes thats why we had em. Just drive up crawl underneath. No jacking the car up and putting it on stands.

    Is there any kind of disclaimer on the packaging?

    Unfortunately, yes, just like I should wait until I am actually rear ended and hurt before suing the person behind me. As much as ads like 1800askgary are made fun of on here, they sure are working
    In all honesty, if there were some huge lawsuit like some people in here are suggesting, the manufacterers attorney would probably tear him apart anyway. This happened while he was driving the car on to the ramp, which could suggest he did it too fast or had the ramps on uneven ground, etc. etc. The bottom line is that short of telling everyone that the ramps are pieces of shit like he is doing here, there really isn't much else he can do.

    Another thing I noticed when I went back to make sure that he was loading the car when it happened was this:

    I've had the same set of Rhino ramps for about 8-years. Never an issue.

    You probably use them on level ground and don't use a running start to put your car on them

    the fact that it happened while pulling onto the ramps leaves too much room for speculation by a legal attorney

    plus you suffered no damage to yourself, so a big lawsuit is completely outof the question

    just see if you can get your money back and fix your car(probably won't happen)

    Stick with metal ramps I'd say. Metal never fails.

    well I wouldn't say that, but I would have more faith in them versus plastic. I've seen metal ramps get bent too. Its all in the usage
