Common hazard. The problem is the trolley jacks transcribe an arc and the
higher you go the more the sideways motion you get. They have those little
steel wheels but sometimes they don't want to turn (they are just steel wheels
on steel pins and if they are not lubricated they vet sticky) if the jack
doesn't move and if the car doesn't move the car will slide on the jack perch.
That is when things go wrong.
And who lubricates the wheels on one's jacks? (Besides me, that is)

Had my Rx-7 slip off the jack while I was jacking
it up (apparently leaving
parking brake on is a
bad idea?) and it fell a ways before stopping on
the
jack again. Looked under the hood and the
top of the radiator had a nice
outline of the
jack underneath sticking up in the middle.
__/---\__ . I
don't think it was going to seal
anymore. Just cost me a new radiator
though.
