HF Jack Stands???

I rotated my tires this past weekend, I used 6 ton HF jack stands. I had a jack stand go down on me after I removed my rear left lugs (I had loosened the lugs before I raised the TJ). The tire was still on there, so my Jeep didn't fall, but it made me think about being under cars throughout my life that have been supported only by jack stands. I am sure this was my fault, and I didn't check to make sure the jack stand was on there firm. But, the TJ rested on that stand for a minute or so before it went down.

So here is my question, is there a better (safer) jack stand?

TIA,
Rob
