Gotta agree with CR2, there are a lot of aircraft that are trickier to load that don't have the provision for a tail stand.

Follow the procedures and load sequence & you won't tip it. Yes, people make mistakes but isn't that the result of man/machine interface & if you get it that wrong, even a tail stand or nose tether won't stop the aircraft from being grounded.
