I've never though those things were worth the risk, I know of up to 5 cases where people have had them torn off because they hang down further putting them into harms way under the car.
It's not an issue on some cars and vans because they have high ground clearance and the sumps plugs are well out of harms way, but on cars like the volvo, it's a worry.

And if you have a much lowered car? forget it, it's not worth the risk.
One of the cases I mentioned was a guy who ran over a rock or something (on a mountian road) and then got quite a few miles before all the oil was gone and the engine went bang.
