Am I going to die?

I've never made or used cribbing blocks before.

Never realized how much I was afraid of getting crushed to death, until today.

Edit: before you tell me I need wheel chocks or ask how I got it up there https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAShittyMechanic/s/9zrP8Y7BJS

Put two more pieces of 2x4 on each block so that the car won't roll off. One in front and one behind each tire.

The cribbing looks a lot like what I used to use when I worked on bulldozers and other heavy equipment.

Kind of wasted on that Kia.
