Really neat design.... until the first guy that is under the car on one and the chair gets stuck on lift 
Looks kinda dangerous for some reason
I would think the chances of crushing a toe would be slim. Forehead pressed against hot exhaust pipe..............that could be another story.
As the guy was pushing forward while in the upright position, I couldn't help but wonder what'd happen if the front wheel encountered an obstruction on the floor, like a wrench. Face plant?
What happens if the handles/ lift actuator gets bumped as you roll under a vehicle? Could get ugly quick. Reminds me of a conversation I had with a Med Examiner's office tech about a death he was looking into. Guy working under an unstable car. Jack slipped (no jackstand) and he was squeezed until dead. Witnesses told of hearing shouts from across the street "earlier in the day" but then they stopped.
I'm sure this'll have a great application for repetitive up/down activities- Maybe commercial aircraft/ auto inspection or assembly, but it isn't that low (Notice that they used a 4WD truck to demonstrate) and it's got to be pretty expensive/

Someone will shoot their eye out with that thing!
That is one slick new deal. I would buy one if the price was right. Can't wait for them to come out. Even my girlfriend wants one. She works on cars too.
very interesting. doubt I would buy one
