Think about this one for a moment, but not too long. I have a set of ramps just like this.

Or he just jacked the car up high enough to get the ramps underneath and didn't really think about which way they were pointing????

I’ve done that many times. I just use the ramp to keep the car off the ground. I usually point the ramps in opposite directions. I add in jack stands for - just in case. I tend to put a lot of stuff under the car if I can’t use a lift.

I do this all the time in place of jackstands. My ramps have a chock at the top to stop you from rolling over them so ill place one ramp forward and the other in the reverse direction the car from moving.

A couple of my cars are so low they cant drive up the ramps anyways so jacking is mandatory.
