Some good luck that your jack was strong enough. I'd bet if it broke off your tongue would have dug in and the feared endo would have ensued.

With no wheel on the jack. It could dig into the soft dirt just like the tongue would. Like I said, luckly it didn't but could have. I was also lucky that it headed for the desert and not the other way and maybe have some contact with an on coming car or big rig.
Have a good day.
