Would it be safe to work under a jacked vehicle, if I use a mechanical

I'd be happier if a nice chunk of firewood was backing that jack up.

I tend to use ramps, wood or metal but even with those, a blowout of a tire could ruin my
day.

Use the jacks if you want to but have something else to save you from a crushing injury if
the jack slips or fails.

I can't bench press my vehicle, I doubt you can either.
