You tried to support a body on a 4x4 in the middle of a piece of 1/2 particle board. The saw horse didn't really fail, it had too much load over too small an area. If you had a 2x6 on top of that particle board to spread the load out to the steel it'd probably still be holding, but certainly not stable.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
