Same for a traditional kickstand. Bikes falling over from a bit of wind or from being bumped---that's a common enough occurrence. Safest is laying the bike on the ground.

The best kickstand is the double old-school-motorcycle kickstand. Anything short of that is going to be a compromise. Just a question of how much risk the rider is willing to tolerate.
