Another story:
A guy I worked with had his brother pinned under his car when the cheap jack stands he was using failed. The pin sheared off and the stand collapsed down. This was back in the 60's when we all drove Detroit iron that weighed over 2 tons. The force of the impact spread the legs out on the jack stand. He didn't get hurt because the stand only collapsed to its lowest level and only pinned him.
Don't ever buy those cheap tin can gauge jack stands. You only have one life, isn't it worth a few bucks more to keep it.
