Glad to hear you didn't get squashed, Hondo.
When I work on the family cars, thoughts creep into my mind of someone finding me squashed under 4000 lbs. of automobile. So, I use jack stands and I'll even slide a tire/wheel under the frame if a tire is coming off for any amount of time.
Long time ago, I pulled a drive shaft from a truck and I failed to chock the wheels of the truck or set the parking brake. Well, that truck started rolling back on me while I was underneath it. Learned my lesson right then and there.
