That happened to mine when we took the linkages off, and left the pedals in the car. Good thing my hand wasn't under it, that thing really slams down  :icon16: Your good just be carefull.

When I had mine rebuilt the guy wire tied it in position. He said there's something like 400 pounds of pressure on the overcenter spring and it would be real easy to lose a digit or two.
