When it comes to laying on your back and having 3,000 lbs. + a few inches from your chest you really should have a plan B for support . Any jack stand can fail it is a man made piece of equipment . Back when I used stands I ALWAYS had a couple of wheel/tire combo's to slide under as insurance . Having a loved one find you squished onto the pavement is not pleasant , for that matter no fun for the person getting flattened ! You have to have multiple types of support . Or as a motorcycle instructor once told me " how much risk are you willing to take " ? I now use my 2 post lift will probably never use stands again . But if I do I will use my old " pin style " in addition to ratchet style . Can't have too much safety .
