Default Bike fell off jackstand
My bike fell off jackstand while i was putting on fork boots. It is now sitting on frame and back wheel with front forks and wheel laying next to it. I cant get anyone to give me a hand until tomorrow night. Will i cause damage to frame by letting bike sit on frame for a day? First bike, first drop, so little parnoid but not sure what to do? Any advice?

Like jumping out of an airplane, the fall nor lying there after does no damage. if the abrupt stop did no damage, you are OK.

If it stayed up-right consider your self lucky, frame shouldn't be damaged, find something to support both sides of frame and tie it down.

+1 here.

Not that it helps the OP now but I have what I consider the safest jack stand/dolly setup and I always strap it down regardless of how long it’s going to be lifted.

The 3 minutes it takes to strap it down is time well spent.
