Ooh, that's gotta hurt

I've often wondered what I would do if I were to fall holding my 6-month-old daughter. Would I fall in such a way so as to protect her, or would I cast her off to the side to save myself? 

I like to think I would do the former. But substitute my laptop for my flesh and blood, and I'm not so sure. Even if it were a brand spankin' new Air. 

However, that's what Charlie Rose did, says TechCrunch. He tripped and fell while carrying his Macbook Air, and decided it was more important to protect the computer than his face. 

Now he needs to have a little talk with David Garrett, I think....
