Default Working under a jacked vehicle

I had two touring busses almost land on me. The first time the
supporting wooden blocks shifted and it only "fell off the jack".
Second time, the jack stand transferred the weight of the buss to one
cobble stone, which then "sank". I heard the creak and rolled out
from under it, just as it dropped. Happened so fast, I didn't even
have time to get scared.

Just jack up that bus, climb on your creeper, and roll under. When you
hear the creak, grab the outer edge of the frame and push the bus off
yourself. If the bus doesn't go shooting off above you, your creeper
will have gone shooting off out from under it (the more likely
situation.) You'll be shaking so badly that you'll skip a meal or
three.
