I use the Rhino ramps as well for oil changes. For everything else I use jack stands. I was standing 3 feet from a car once when the factory jack slipped (chevy). My neighbor almost literaly lost his head. The bumper missed his head by less than 1/2". My father had a freind who was killed when a jack slipped on a car he just crawled under "for a quick look". Listen to burgboxsterand NEVER crawl under a car without it being securely blocked. Make sure to always use chocks or bricks to block the wheels, 2 on each tire. Don't trust your life to the e-brake.
