Two people that can answer that question are: (1) someone who has ridden out an earthquake with one of these tanks filled; (2) someone that knows about the science of earthquakes. I know nothing about earthquake science, but did ride out the 5.8 earthquake in Virginia in 2011. I was in Fairfax, which sustained light to moderate impact, and while some historic buildings in Washington DC were damaged, my two filled water tanks were not affected. I suspect that the building would fall over before one of these tanks, but duration of wave action inside the column of water may be a wild card, depending on the duration and direction of the lines of force.

I bought it for my toddler to use, but I went up on it and my husband (over 210 lbs) did too and it's super solid and stable. Not a single time I thought it was wobbly.

It is very sturdy and won't tip. It has a five prong/leg base which keeps it very stable.

I live in Virginia so earthquakes aren't a problem (but on the other hand, I have a five year old). The stand holds the set just fine without falling over. I was concerned when I read the "wobbly and not very secure" review but when the Vizio arrived I found the stand to be quite satisfactory although I wouldn't swing on it like Tarzan.

I have never even had to worry about it tipping. I don't raft where it's very rough though. Very stable.

I have found it very stable. It hasn't tipped on me yet. On carpet, wood, and really thick carpet I've had no problems

I have it in my RV and it seems very stable. Haven't had any problems as yet.

It's very stable. I used it for timelapse on a windy day with legs fully extended for 60mins without a problem. Also hooked my 5 pounds backpack on it.

It is stable on three legs, just keep on flat surface. I haven't had igniter issues. Has worked great takes a little time to heat up.

It is stable enough to stand securely without wall anchoring. However, if I lived in say California with earthquakes, I would wall mount.

It's pretty stable. Especially if you make sure that the boom arm is directly above one of the legs. The longer you make the boom, the more tippy. With the arm 1/2 way extended or less, you should have no problems outdoors.

It's pretty stable. The rubber stoppers will go up exposing metal spikes that you can stick into the ground for extra support.

It's stable. We load it up with heavy winter costs, and it doesn't tip, but the poles themselves are not solid- they're lightweight.

It is very stable. There is some wobble of course which is expected at this price point, but nothing major. The rubber feet retract exposing spikes which are perfect for outdoor shooting. There is also a stabilizing hook to further stabilize the shot.

Very stable I would suggest putting rubber matting beneath it in case you have wood floors to absorb impact

I have not had that problem when I use it a table. In my lap, it is stable as anything else.
