Does anyone know how it happened? What was he doing, what went wrong?

I crawl under my bus all the time under these circumstances:

1. Parked on a flat, level surface.
2. Parking brake set.
3. Air bags inflated.
4. Leveling jacks down as a safety against airbag failure.

I've never had cause to jack the bus up beyond normal airbag operating
height. I'm small enough I can work around it without lifting it. I
can't see the airbags and the jacks failing at the same time. I'd
imagine most of the danger here is when you've actually lifted one or
more tires off the ground, yes?
