Interesting New Jack Stands

I saw a video on these things but the site had no link. Here ya go:

Seems like they ought to have some kind of bumper to keep the car from rolling off...

Here's the video. Search for "Creative Idea for lifting a car" or scroll for a VERY LONG time.

Ive been wanting those for my bmw for a long time now. Just way over priced.

I really like that idea/ set up. Like Crowz says.. to expensive. Like Cliff says, my worry would be having the wheel(s) slide off the platform while jacking up the other side. I had a problem with that when doing my 86 last year, had to double up the wheel platform surface.

You can see at the beginning of the video there's an area on top the platform for the tire to set in. Still too much $$$ Probably got the idea from Wheel Cribs for show cars.

While the price could seem a bit high is there another alternative in this price range that allows the entire bottom of the car to be completely unobstructed?
