you never rely solely on jacks....and jackstands fail if they get damaged>>>
or you do not secure them properly.....
An old trick is to put the wheels underneath the side sills too....while this will never protect you fully, with all of the other stuff there...you would have a chance....
The point here is to never take a jack for granted....
