Whoa... way too close. This is one of my nightmares. I am very claustrophobic as it is, so anytime I am under a car I have a couple backup systems. I did a simple oil change on my daughter's car so I just had one side jacked up with a floor jack. I put a jack stand under the car next to the floor jack as a back up. When done I found the car was sitting on the jack stand. The floor jack had failed..... a seal had given way.
Sorry for getting off track.
