I've only ever heard of a jack stand failing once, and the injured party thought hat it was possible that he had accidentally pried up on the release handle. I have, however seen poorly placed jack stands slip out and cause the car to partially fall. Often I use the jack stands to support the car and leave the floor jack, slightly lowered, in a position to catch the car if it slips. You can get another set for about $25.00 and use one set to support the car an the second strategically placed as a backup.
