I have 3 sets of 3 ton jack stands. I dont care what they are rated at, there is still that ONE chance that something will happen.
that bothers me.
You scared by lightening too? How about falling space debris?

I've seen lifts drop, there is risk everywhere. It's a matter of risk mitigation. Going under a car supported by a jack is high risk, going under one well supported by quality jack stands and has passed a serious shake test is much lower risk. I feel safer under my car when it is properly supported than I do driving on some roads.
