Same thing that would happen if you tried to lift your friend while they tried to lift you.
Or, to remove the layer of indirection: grab your own feet and lift up. Same thing as that.

So basically nothing besides some probable self-inflicted mechanical damage?
If anything happened it would just be mechanical damage, yeah.
But like the other guy said, I think they would probably just sit there and groan as they tried to compress each other’s frames.

It depends, but must of these lifts aren’t rated to lift themselves, so they would groan and make noise, but not go anywhere.
