And ??
Car in front rolls back some how and knocks it off those stands. Just saying, the wheels need to be chocked for added safety.
Believe me, 30 years in the Fire/EMS profession, I've seen a few 'working on the car" accidents where they didn't think they needed those extra safety precautions either.

50+ years doing automotive stuff myself.
And yes I've seen people get hurt not doing the correct thing.
Guy at work lost part of his leg because he didn't have a stand under a bulldozer blade when the hydraulics failed and his leg was right there.

If it's on axial/jack stands on level ground where can it go ?

about 20 yrs ago I was replacing the front shocks on my ranger only using a cheap hydraulic jack, my brother came out of the office (this was at a glass/aluminum shop I worked at for him) and freaked out when he saw me under the front of the ranger with just the jack under it...
I did have a pair of stands I just was just trying to get it done quick, needless to say, that was a lesson learned very quickly and Ive never worked under a vehicle again without jack stands. and depending on where Im doing the work, also chocks.

I lost an heirloom pocket knife after I loaned it to a friend who was working on his brake lines; the jack broke the brake drum came down on his neck. I just didn't feel right asking his widow for my knife.
