TBF I think there is at least a documented case or two of some lunatic buying one of those for their garage.

Quote (in case the post gets deleted)
"Also be careful your pins won’t move with a heavy enough weight on them. I was squatting in a local SS gym last year and missed my fifth rep at 410. When I set it on the pins I guess I leaned backwards (it was the first time I’d ever failed a squat and never thought much about what to do in case I did). The weight of the bar pushed the pins out of the rack."
