Go you and your powers of acceleration! It's reassuring to know that airline crews have great reflexes (especially since my own transatlantic flight is coming up next week - not that I expect to collapse or anything, but any reassurance is welcome at this point :D).

And just falling over like that is scary! I bet the old guy was very glad for the assistance even if things turned out to be okay.
