The Ultimate "Oops"

The next time you stumble over the rug in the dining room, sending a glass of milk to its sudden demise, just take comfort in the fact that you're not David Garrett. The 26 year old virtuoso concert violinist recently tripped and fell down a flight of stairs, landing on his violin. That is unfortunate enough, but the magnitude of the accident is increased immeasurably because the violin was, inevitably, a nearly priceless Stradivarius.

"Don't worry, kid, we'll just get another one," doesn't quite apply here.
