...JACK STANDS. I always use the floor jack but then stick a stand under my car, either under the frame (not the best place) or on the jack point under the door. Then I lower it back down so the car is about 1mm away from touching the stand. This way if my jack goes, the car doesn't have far to go before the stand grabs it.
Second, get a proper pinch weld adapter for your jack. No more hockey pucks or wood to slip out on you. Jacking up my car is my least favorite thing to do ever. Unfortunately most projects require it. :(
