I had a jack stand fail at the lower supporting bracing, the legs splayed outwards when it gave way. My floor jack was still in place, as I usually try to do, so there was no real scare. Still, if possible I always try to use ramps. I also utilize the wheels under the car trick, at least when there is space.
