The correct method, observed by all automotive professionals, is to place the car on jack stands, and leave the car in neutral, parking brake off. This allows the car to move to the floor jack, rather than vice versa, which would allow the jack pad to slid off if the tiny hard wheels of the jack encounter an obstruction.
If the brake or parking pawl is needed to keep the car on stands, it has not been correctly placed.
I am glad you are OK. Learn from your mistake - and be thankful for a second chance at life.
