    I just posted elsewhere in the thread, neighbor had his car roll off his jack stands because he was, let’s face it, dumb enough to be working on a sloped driveway. Crushed his head and killed him. His parents found him.

    If you’re only using two jack stands get chocks too, not just a log from the wood pile.

    People seem to think nothing bad will happen to them because it never has before. This is wrong.

      People are way too comfortable with getting underneath unsecured loads, especially cars. I feel bad for the kid, but damn, don’t get under a car on a slope.

      I need to buy some chocks now that you mention it. Parking brakes aren’t enough
