Regarding safty:
One aspect that are seldom talked about is how manufacturer determine no of degrees when the tipping point occur.
When a stand manufacturer test their stands (with speaker it of course change) they just tip them until they get to the point where they are on the point to tip. They note that angle.
It is all about the stands center of gravity.
How we can change that?
If we fill the stands like in the OP case with lead (sand or whatever) to the top. Then the center of gravity of those stands will be higher up. And give us a stand that tip earlier and in other words will tip easier with less number of degrees before it reached amd passed its tipping point.
What to do to increase the safety?
By fill the stands only up to 2/3 or 3/4. Then we actually lower the center of gravity and also increase the number of degrees that is needed to get it to the tipping point. (It will even be better performing in this regard than if the stands were empty)
In short have in mind the center of gravity. :)
