Wow, I guess most of you have never seen jack failure....
Anyone that thinks that is safe has never used a scissors jack much. They have no stability against side forces.
If would be far safer if they were used so that half the jacks were 90 degrees from the other. With those jacks all facing the same way, the only thing preventing the trailer from toppling is the tongue jack.
Raise the tongue jack and a six year old could push it over.
