I had a friend in MI that backed out onto his lift (full size Ford van) and rolled off the end when the plate failed to tip up on the end of the lift. He was killed in the fall. I hope you're talking about a mini-van, Dave. Just a word of caution for big van users. I'm here to testify to a fall like this! I wasn't backing off but I pulled on & my dogs had caught my attention because they got out of the house. I was turning to tell my daughter & my hand hit the joystick. At the time I was in a chain driven chair (I bought out of the paper). My van was old, 1st one, plates didn't work, so off I went backwards. I barely missed the concrete & landed in the grass. My daughter had moved the van so I could get in, (not much). My head hit my husband's bronco, put a dent in the front fender. The chair is gone and so is the van! I now have a mini but I drive in and drive out forwards. I do have a lap belt and chest belt on. But Dave is right! Gotta be careful because to live and learn in this quad life...HURTS!
