I'd like to offer mine also.

I can't say how strongly I feel about this.  About 12
times a year right here in NE Pa. someone drops a
car/bus/farmtractor off a bumper jack, foot locker,
pumpkin, etc. onto himself and dies.  That's just the
ones that make the news/newspaper.  Very disturbing. 
Junior or the ol' lady come out and see you squashed
under your wagon.  Even when I put mine on good
jackstands, I try to shake the body pretty hard side
to side and front to back to see how stable it is or
if I can dislodge it.  I want to KNOW this BEFORE I
ever climb under there and start pulling with a big
wrench or something.  I'm NOT having a vehicle fall on
me if I can help it at all.  That's enough for this
soapbox.  Hopefully people take this as seriously as
it is.
