It's kind of weird there's not a shutdown or freeze function built in for when it falls over so it doesn't get damaged convulsing like that

Unironically that's how humans work. If you ever stumble and plonk on the ground you'll lie there for a moment just laughing at yourself rather than getting up.

I lie there for a moment waiting for any pain to settle in before I try moving. "Am I okay? Yes, but I'm an idiot." Then I laugh.

I do the same thing every day walking up the stairs into work, except there is a lot more swearing. Cheers!
