I want THIS!

Saw this on some show on Discovery - or maybe TLC - where people pitch products to potential backers. IRC they chose not to invest... but yes it looks really, really useful.

I'll have to show that to my wife. She's an Occupational Therapist. I bet if anyone could get that product off the ground it would be in that realm.
 
My garage floor doesn't stay clean enough for that, I'd crash it the first time I used it or I would manage to be under a vehicle with my arms above my head and somehow manage to hit the raise button/lever and pin myself under said vehicle.

How is this any different from using a normal creeper? The point is that it saves your knees and back from constantly bending over and laying down... the overall rolling-around isn't that much different.

I'd bet for the gain in comfort, you'd quickly change your behavior to make it work.
Or - build a tray into the side of the thing so you just lay the tools down right there...

On the show I saw, they took it to a garage and had several guys try it. They all said it was great and they would use it. I think the biggest problem was target cost. The holdback on investment wasn't b/c they didn't think it would work or would be a real hit, it was more a concern they had about limited market and not selling enough for them to make a lot of money as investors.
