yes it will fall on you decapitate you and youll lose use of your dong, then your going to turn green from shoulders down and your car will roll off the ramps and down hills with you caught onto front bumper.
or if your lucky nothing will happen <---- im betting for option B

just be sure you chok the tires and e-brake it, good luck

jack stands would probably be better, although i doubt the car will move.

do put on ebrake and wedge some 2 by 4's behind all four tires if you are going to do it on the ramp.

actually its best to work on anti-roll bars when the suspension is under load. that way the anti-roll bar its self isnt under load.

I installed my front sway bar while my car was on ramps. No problems. It's just a trick to put the bar in place without an extra set of hands and w/o having to drop the exhaust. Hope you're good at puzzles.
