People die under cars because they ignore safety

I used to just chock if a wheel came off the ground but I now chock everything. In this case, the truck is high enough that you can easily slide under it on a creeper and I wasn't planning on being under it this time but even with all 4 wheels on the ground, mishaps can still bite you. I'm the guy that lays the wheel under a frame rail if I can, along with the jack stand and leaving the jack touching with a bit of pressure. I'd love a set of Quickjacks but my driveway is too sloped to make me feel safe and the garage is full of woodworking tools.
