I totally disagree. I always pull at the car to ensure stability when I
have it on 2 or 4 stands. but if they are on concrete, well positioned, and
relatively level, they are *safe*
there is always danger when working on cars. think safety!

A car raised on four axle stands (are they the same as jack stands?) is
*very* dangerous, it is relatively easy to pull the car over as their base
is usually quite a bit smaller than their height in use. Only ever use two
jack stands with two short ramps (short of full length ramps or a lift).
