Glad the OP made it out alive. Bad! Bad S2000 for trying to hug your owner!

Don't put the car up on four jackstands so there are no chocked wheels on the ground. Someone on the prelude forum did that while working on the suspension. He pulled the car over while wrenching on it and was killed. Keep two locked/chocked wheels on the ground for stability.

Out of your F-ing mind getting under any car without jackstands, and proper ones as well. Lesson learned and your right this thread might help prevent some other fool from getting hurt or killed. I didnt think people really did this, guess I was wrong.

but glad to hear you're ok. Hopefully no one else makes the same mistake.
