Jason:

        I have never heard of one slipping out.  But I have heard many tales
and have one personal instance of the gear teeth stripping and the car
coming down hard.  Good used MGB jacks for a long time were very hard to
find because of this problem.  Inspect the jack very carefully and never put
yourself in danger when lifting the car with one.
