Reaching through won't crush you if the bags let go, it will just result getting cut in two. The odds of it dropping are really really small. It’s one of those low probability high consequence issues. Some of us will take that risk, I do sometimes underlimited circumstances, other won't do it at all.

If you do choose to raise the coach using the air bags I personally wait a half hour or so if taking the small risk of death so that the increased stress from inflation on the bags has time to find any weaknesses and blow before I crawl into the danger zone. It would be smarter to take that same time to install Jacks or cribbing, the fact that I sometimes don't and am still here proves absolutely nothing.
