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

NO..NO..NO!!!!

ALWAYS have another support in place if the primary lift device fails.

NO EXCEPTIONS!

In an earlier life, I spent many hours under heavy objects supported
by mechanical and hydraulic jacks.

After seeing repeated failures in those lifting devices, I can speak
from personal experience..ALWAYS have a backup support device in place
before you place any part of your body that you value.
