Take some time to learn your tool setup and work with it. Experiment without getting under the car and you will learn whats safe.
As shown in the picture above it is workable and safe.

OK. My asking so many questions... it's just that I've heard stories of
people not doing it right and getting crushed under their vehicles
as a result... I never got to raise the vehicle this high with the old stands,
so I wanted to make sure I understood enough about it to be on the safe
side. Excellent advice, yours, by the way. Thanks.
