I investigated the Max Jax before purchasing. I am an engineer by trade and found that there are several safety features built into the Max Jax. Yes, if a hose fails you would have one side of the car that would drop and most likely cause a catastrophic accident. That is why I upgraded the hoses and fittings to quality Parker USA rated at 5000 psi min, about double the Max Jax system pressure.
In speaking with their engineering department I found that there is a 5:1 safety margin for the anchors. I ordered an extra set so that I can have two mounting locations for larger and smaller cars. I have 5 cars that I do all the repairs and maintenance on so it gets used frequently. I measured the deflection at the top of the columns and found only 1/8" per side with my 4500 pound Buick on it. Sorry to have caused such a stir with my first post here but I was really looking for safe lift points (from the vehicle's perspective) for my Model A.
