I honestly don't see how they can get away with that.

Along the same lines I have flattened a set of one piece ramps before. Fortunatley they went as I was getting out of the mini van and not after I had crawled under the thing.

I think the van tried to push them forward instead of climb up them but the front of the ramps didn't move. I could tell that the tires we're in the sweet spot so I put the van in park set the brake and right as I opened the door to get out the whole thing fell forward.
