He needs to learn to roll with the fall. That would protect the Air
Book better. Didn't he play rugger at school ?

You'd think with a name like "MacBook Air" that it should have built-in
airbags :)

A couple of years ago, I was riding my bicycle in a group and feel off
while going about 20mph. Both my bike and I were flat on the road, and
I started screaming "My bike, my bike, someone get my bike before a
car hits it!".

Even worse, people actually listened to me. Several people grabbed my
bike and took it safety on the side of the road while I continued to
lay right in the road bed. It was a good thing it was Sunday morning
and there wasn't much traffic.
