Maybe. Maybe it is a matter of paying attention to the details and
possible failure modes.
I do not claim to be a jackstand expert But I live a mile away from the
surface epicenter of the '89 Loma Prieta quake. My TR3 was on four
jackstands when the quake occured and it was still up on jackstands when
the quake was over. The house tried real hard to demolish itself though.
Extensive damage throughout the house, but the TR stayed up.
What I think I know about jackstands & setting them up is in the Triumph
FAQ section of my personal web site.
