I was searching for the article I mentioned above of the jack slipping and falling on the guy. there is a ton of info on this happening on the following thread. This post in the thread shows the Pin type of jack Stand which I believe is the safer of the two type of jacks. the ratchet type are the only one`s that seem to be sole.

The Pin type stand has a flat base instead of the 3 or four legs most have and looks much sturdier.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
