I rest it on the "safety" bars all the time, never trust the hydraulic especially if it is going to be overnight. Sounds like you made out fine and learned a valuable lesson. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I leave the weight on the jack when it sits overnight. I DO throw the locks in place but don't lower onto the locks.
I can readily see where the jack could weep out from under the crossbar. I'm going to play around with this at some point, and see where the jack can slip out from crossbar. Hey CFM... how old is your jack?
I would imagine that everybody else thinks we are idiots for leaving our bikes unattended and unstrapped on our jacks. I really LOVE my J&S jack.
Now.... I want a lifting table!

Here is the whole jack totally raised with a SG on it.
Here one can see that the very tip of the jack's shaft tilts into the cup when raised.
I cannot remove jack's shaft from cup, even with pressure totally relieved from the jack.
I hope one of you guys figure this out, because I use my jack constantly. Now, I will take that extra moment to inspect this cup's fit to the shaft.

My jacks about a year old.
I found the dogs in the second position.
I'll jack it up all the way from now on.
I think I'll call J&S and talk to them about it, they are really good guys to deal with.
