How do you recover from a fall?

I've had it happen twice, due to the afore mentioned icy conditions.

Both times I've popped back up as quick as possible, pointed at the ground and said... "Watch out for that".

I like the Chuck Norris exhale excuse... I'll try to remember that for next time... if there is a next time. 🙂
 
Don't do what I saw this guy do when I was 11- fall off a ladder, bang his head on the pavement and go into convulsions. He looked like a real moron.
 
I fall down when I'm (a)skiing, (b)on a jet ski. In other words, I'm doing something totally awesome at the time, so it doesn't really matter.

Watch where you put your feet!

I will fall in front of people I know plenty of times, but then we all just laugh about it. But what about when you are all dressed up in a suit, and you are meeting complete strangers for something. It happened today and I just got up and we all had one of those awkward laughs. If you remain sitting down and just laugh like many do, you just look like an idiot. How can you recover from this? Or do you need to just get up and cut your losses?

AND I WILL SAY IT FIRST. THE BEST WAY TO RECOVER FROM A FALL IS TO NOT BE A CLUMSY LOSER AND FALL TO BEGIN WITH.

A) Pass it off as a Chevy Chase (old actor on Saturday Night Live) impersonation, or

B) Mumble something about spontaneous and unpredictable gravity field fluctuations.
 
When I almost fall, I make a dance to make light of the situation.

When I actually fall, I choose to let out a string of profanity to show that I am too good to fall, and something bad happened. Or laugh it off like I'm retarded...
 
Accuse the weakest person in the group of tripping you and threaten to kick their ass, adding drama will distract from you sucking at walking.
 
When I was delivering I slipped on ice with a package in my hands, landed on my ass, but held onto the package the whole time. That was badass.
