Cars can fall off of jack stands too. I recall reading about one of those on a BMW board a few years back.

The key is to have a primary and secondary support, at minimum.

The good thing, at least with the w123, is that if the tires are left on, it's relatively high up off the ground to begin with. That's not justification to avoid protections, more of a little peace of mind when under a car like this versus some others.

Doesn't mean no backups...
