I really hate the design of our jacks... but it really shouldn't "collapse" unless the jack was't 90 degrees to pavment. The car rolling slightly could put it at such an angle that the jack bent off to one side. (which i'm sure is why someone asked if the wheels where choked) It is like jack stands.. they can support a lot of vertical weight, but are usless on their side. But still... with a regular jack (even scissor) this would probably not be an issue.
Sorry to hear about your fender, hope the wheel was on and no one was injured.
