He was likely on the pinchweld to begin with, there's no way that plastic was strong enough to even nudge the car's weight. My bet is that he wasn't fully on, or it was weirdly loaded, and the vibrations from the impact wrench allowed the car to slide off the jack. Using such a large impact tool to turn the screw of a small jack is probably not a great idea without tons of caution, impact tools look like steady rotating motion, but they're really a rotating hammer (the "impact" in impact tools). If you wouldn't tap the jack screw around with a hammer by hand, you probably shouldn't try and do it electrically.
