Why/how are both rear wheels off at the same time?

Ah, no! :(  Next time use a small, 1/4" drive ratchet with a 1/4" socket & put the torx bit in that, instead - No need to take wheels off, then. ;)

did the jack actually collapse? Or did it topple over?

it was one of  those scisor jacks the threaded part that goes through the middle bent and gave way which caused the other little wind up jack to topple over so u could say both lol :laugh:
