Witnessed a failure.
Docmusolf <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/100875.phtml">Nearly Lost a Hand</a> at the Quattro Club's Grattan event. I haven't used the Audi jack since that weekend and now carry a floor jack in the trunk. The <a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a8/msgs/100854.phtml">Death by Jack</a> thread discusses three other incidents. Searches in the other forums would undoubtedly find many others.
The Four Amigos at Grattan. Note that the paddock area where the jack failure occurred is very flat.

Failed how? Actually BROKE? or the car fell over due to misuse of the emergency jack?
I've used them over the last, oh 16 years or so here and there, NEVER had a problem. Granted, you have to be careful, but I've never had a car fall off of one.
Also keep in mind, the Audi jack is designed for emergency tire changes ONLY, any other use of it is just pure stupidity.
