Three bays in a row got me thinking about my creeper choice

Was working a Saturday shift at Jerry's Auto off I-35 and slid under a Focus, a Silverado, and a Corolla back to back. My old plastic creeper caught on every single jack stand lip and nearly threw me off twice. Anyone else switch to a low-profile aluminum one and actually notice a difference in how fast you roll under?

Did you ever feel like you were auditioning for a rodeo instead of just trying to swap out an oil pan? My first time on a cheap plastic creeper I slid right off the edge of a lift and ended up on the concrete floor with my legs in the air like a flipped turtle. The aluminum ones are way better for gliding under, but I still have to remind myself not to wiggle too much or I'll tip over again.

Oh come on, it can't be that bad. You probably just tensed up at the wrong second.
