Ever google this? Its amazing how many cases of people having cars fall on them.
this is why I always use added safety stands in addition to the stands that hold up the car.
and Im always on a level or relatively level surface when putting my car up.
and never get under a car with just the pump jack holding it up alway use safety stands.
right?

dozens of news reports.

I just did a Google search and was surprised how many results came back. In a previous job one of my responsibilities was risk assessment. My supervisor would constantly drill into us, "If it is identifiable it is preventable." Thanks for the safety reminder.

Well your previous boss has a responsiblity to keep his guys safe.
if you have a boss that suggests anything else report him.
