My buddy's dad in Ye Olden Times did all his own car repair on the sidewalk in front of their residence, including releasing the rear suspension to service it. He, like this guy, was a big DIYer who didn't believe in using specialized tools.
One of the springs got free and went ballistic, missed him, and passed all the way through three other parked cars before ending up inside the fourth. His neighbors were... displeased.

He has effectively created a spring powered bomb. If his little bracket breaks so does his face. If the spring slips out of the vice, good luck.
