Similar to these. Looking at them you'd think they would they'd be able to hold up the car easily

And they might if you stacked them like that and put a board on top. I had a parts car sitting on block like that for over five years.
But people stack them sideways so they have no shear strength in one dimension, and they collapse.
I'm really sorry about this kid passing. It's such a shame.
