Though I guess if you get swiped from the side with a long base, you may risk falling over sideways, though I haven't seen that a whole lot.

Big footprint.... Not skinny in any direction.

You have to also consider turning... If you are long and skinny, you might be okay with a quick acceleration. But if you need to turn, you could topple.
