Always one of my fears, I always use jack stands, and then put the jack up to it so its touching, just for extra safety encase a jack stand fails.

I second this. I had to learn about jack stands the hard way. The jack tipped and my RS fell on my arm while changing my first tire and pinned my arm between the tire and wheel well. I got lucky and it just bruised the soft tissue around my elbow. It did put a quarter inch deep divet in the skin on the side of my elbow the size and shape of a bolt on the wheel well. Stayed there for months as a reminder before it healed completely.

I had a car fall on me several years ago. If it wasnt for Jerrome (Bigbald21) I would be dead as door nail. ____________________________________ 2gnt Member # 333

Details on what happened?
I always put a set of jack stands, a car jack on each side and a huge tree stump that's been in my back yard for years whenever I go underneath my car to do work.
