You can not have the slightest brain fart when working on cars that are in the air, you're lucky you didn't kill yourself.

Man, a friend and I were just talking about this, never trust a jack( I don't care if it's brand new, jack stands ftw), and definitely block the wheels with a tire, block, ANYTHING. Good thing is you are ok, could of ended up a statistic.

I know, my father always yells at me not to work on the car alone, or at least never work under the car when someone else isn't with me. You never know what could go wrong...but seriously man, your lucky to be able to walk away from that, could be alot worse.

WOW! Every time I work on my car even with the jack stands and chocks put in place, I still have that feeling in the back of my head, like this **** better not fail me. You're extremely lucky, you were able to fit under the car without it crushing you even a little bit? Look at the bright side, you will never forget your safety measures again.
