Any danger of unibody deformation?

I can't imagine deforming a unibody using jack stands.

A friend of mine was killed when his '64 Chevy fell on him, so this subject matter is something I take pretty seriously. When I get the car on stands, if there is room I'll also slide the wheels under the car as a safety backup.

Thanks for the advise.....I have to admit that I am always uneasy under a car on stands

I always keep the jack in a location as well. On a level floor, car level and the jack stands where they belong, a Boxster is pretty bombproof really. Getting the jack stands in the right place under the jack points is a funky proposition though, but not too bad.
