I've seen so many bad things happen from ramps. I've seen people go off them, over them, and shoot them under their cars with FWD cars. It takes 5 minutes to get a car up on jack stands. I see the convenience of ramps but I'll never use them.
Jack Stands... HELP!

I have been using ramps for a long time. It would be pretty hard to go over them. They have curb on the front.
One of the reasons I prefer ramps for certain items is that jacking up a lowered vehicle and placing jack stands is not always that simple. For something like my GT500 it requires two separate low profile jacks from either side and then nowhere to put the jack stands except under suspension components. The race ramps do not slide, even on an epoxy floor and their long rise makes for a nice smooth transition, even with a lowered, manual trans car like the GT500. When used correctly, there is zero chance they will fail or the car will fall from poor placement. Rhino ramps are fine, but not too useful with lowered vehicles.
