I've got one, and it's great for when you are pissed up and come home, give the neighbours a rousing rendition of "Smoke On The Water" and lob your guitar across the room - although it obviously doesn't catch it, you can get away with being slightly less precise than a normal stand.
What the photo on that link doesn't show you is that it's sprung - the weight of the guitar pushes the bottom support downwards, so it ends up about as far off the ground as a normal stand. As it moves down, the top arms also move down and hold the guitar in place. You'd have to really go some to knock it over forwards, it's way safer than a normal stand.
Sadly, Wilksy-baby, they stopped making them about 15 years ago, so best of luck finding one, let alone two. If you do have any luck, if someone's bought the design and making them again, let me know, I'd love more.
