Thats no joke! I seen that happen one when my friend propped up his trailer with some blocks after he unhooked it from the truck. ABout 30 minutes later we hear a noice and crunch down the trailer goes. No one was near it or working on it. It just collapsed.
I work for the railroad and I have brought home several 1 foot and 2 foot long pieces of new railroad tie that were cut off to fit somewhere. Those make great blocks or secondary safety to a jackstand or jack. I never get under anything unless theres 2 forms of support.
