Safety issues using jackstands?

I have seen many threads where putting your cart on jackstands is of paramount importance for safety! My motor, however, says on a big yellow tag " do not run on jackstands ". I am a bit confused on this! I know someone has the answer to this one! Thanks!!!

No load rpms can easily exceed motor limits and grenade the thing. Jack stands are used for holding the cart safely off of the floor.

So just don't let the motor speed up to much while the cart is on jackstands? That makes sense to me! I had no clue they could overspeed! Thanks, like I said, I'm new to the electrics!
