Default Floor Jack Extra Safety Bar

I have my other car up on my steel car ramps, and I needed to change my oil today, so I just used my floor jack. As an added safety to keep the pad in the air if the hydraulic jack failed, I blocked the lift with a 4 x 6 block of wood. The next time I go to the metal yard I will buy a length of thick wall rectangular aluminum tubing and notch each end to fit the jack axle and lifting pad.
