Owen did a variety of piledrivers too... you can see him use a standard, a tombstone and that weird inverted piledriver/sitting tombstone in different matches. I think the one that got Austin was an on-the-spot improvisation though because I can't remember seeing that one before then.
If you want to see a pile driver that's safer than a body slam just watch Ric Flair take one. It's a slow handstand on the giver's feet and then he just lies down whenever Terry Funk or whoever it was was ready.
