Yeah, great call, MrBen. That looks scary to me, too! I'd use blocks of wood instead. Or at the very least, put some pieces of 2x10's on top of the blocks so they can distribute the weight of the jack stands. Those sharp edges on the stands' feet can easily split that brittle block. They are like the chisel and the weight of the car is like a hammer.
This video should send chills down the spine of anyone who uses concrete blocks like that:
