I just refer to my own picture.

The consequences for violating safety rules are very likely to be very painful.

Every year I read about someone getting killed by a car falling on them. It can, and does happen. Every single piece of information on the Brickboard must be taken with the understanding that at ALL TIMES, you are responsible for YOUR OWN SAFETY.
You probably wouldn't get in a car with a drunk driver and go on the highway. You run about the same risk of serious injury or other very bad consequences from working under a car that's unsupported by anything but a jack. One day, it's GOING to be you!

That's not to say I haven't done it; I have and it's wrong. I'm very lucky that nothing bad happened to me. I have had a close call or two, and just been fortunate that the car did not fall, or slide, or crush me, or roll into the street. I won't work like that anymore. It gets supported correctly, period.
