Yikes, if you can not figure this out, get a beer. Will it tip over to one side if you bump it, or will if squash perfectly flat? Even a drunk knows that a beer will tip over on it's side!

Who said anything about bumping anything? Certainly the steel members on one side could fail and the structure would twist toward that side.
