Default Working under a jacked vehicle

My brother was almost hit by a tractor trailer truck walking across the
road. Now he takes the blindfold off before leaving the curb.

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

NO. I dropped a car off a hydraulic jack once, and it almost landed on me.

Maybe if you chocked the wheels that are still on the ground, but you
really should use a jack stand that won't tip over.

Good Luck!
