I have an Everlast 70 lbs heavy punching bag that I'd like to hang from an Everlast Heavy Bag Stand; it seems pretty secure to me, I'm thinking that if I use the correct Carabiner and maybe replace the bolt at the top with something else that doesn't have an open end to it, maybe it will work out.
But I'm also not certain about this, so I figured I would ask here.
Those "spikes" look like this:
And then up top it looks like this:
I'd use some "blue" Locktite on the threads of that bolt at the top, so vibration doesn't eventually unscrew the bolt. (I can't really tell if it has it's own locking mechanism).
Also, use a carabiner that has a screw lock.
Looking at that picture it's the two weight spikes sticking up from the feet of the stand that would worry me more than the odds of the bag falling... and you can always add a safety strap from the top of the bag to the eye (or tied around the stand in front of the eye) as a back-up.
