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

NO WAY would I trust my precious self to that. My personal standard is
two ramps, two wide-based jack stands with feet added to protect the
asphalt, and try real hard to shake the vehicle off the stands before
crawling under. If at all possible I leave the tires on, otherwise
(hubs, ball joints etc) I add another stand or large wooden blocks.
