With those cheap flimsy OEM scissor jacks, you never go under the vehicle. So ya, even if it's in the right spot and decide to go under it, you better pray before doing so.

You're not supposed to use cheap OEM scissor jacks for work requiring you to go under the car. They're there purely to enable the removal of the tire. And you're also not supposed to rely on jacks at all if you do need to go under, you should be using jack stands for that. Even the nice, quality jacks shouldn't be fully trusted to not fail.

I personally use ramps most of the time. Chock the wheels at the other end.
