Answer 4

Long ago I was working on a 64 malibu. I think I was changing starter. I had it up in the air on a bumper jack. All the tires were on it. It fell on my chest and I pressed up as hard as I could on the tire and yelled. My neighbor came running and grabbed me by the foot and pulled me out.

I have never got under a car since then with out good jack stands.
