Cello rushed to the emergency room

Hi all,
It has been a while since I last posted and I apologize for that. I am still in book one of Suzuki. I am practicing the Minuet in C . I had an incident last week which really just crushed me. I realized that it was an accident but I was not happy not at all.
I was practicing in my room that I use as my office and my practice area. I received a phone call and laid the cello on the floor on its' side to answer the phone. The phone call was for my husband instead of him answering the phone in the kitchen he comes into where I was at and did not look down and STEPPED/TRIPPED on my cello. AARGH! the agony of it all. The Scroll broked off . I was beside myself. I scream like he had injured me! It is not a clean break. I took it to the rental place where I got it from and hopefully it can be fixed and it wont be that much. I have another one in the meantime. Let me tell you I purchased a nice stand when it is not in the case so I wont have to lay it on the floor. Have any of you guys had any accidents with your cello?
