And not always the piece with the sharpest point...Some of the
shields/roadsigns/other fragile pieces also fall into the step-on and
fall-on categories. :(

One more collary to add to this thread:

If a piece of Lego has a sharp point on it and falls to the • ground, the point
will always be facing up. This piece can only be located by
stepping on it
with
bare feet. :-)

And after the initial shock of the impaled foot is felt, you
are unconciously
driven to lift your foot off the ground very abruptly,
placing yourself in the
least stable standing position possible. Then after trying in
vain to grab
hold of something, you fall over, either onto: 1) a pile of
equally sharp
Lego, 2) one of your better creations, or 3) the tub that the
rest of your
Lego is in, splitting the tub open and causing the contents
to spill out
everywhere. The last one has actually happened to me on two
separate occasions.
