The best falls you can recall

I know that falls are by definition not cool and I don't wish them to any skaters. But we got to admit that some falls are actually pretty cool.
Maybe they are funny, maybe they are impressive, maybe they fit the choreography so well that they should be rewarded, maybe the reaction of the skater to said fall gives you life. I am not talking about scary horrible falls like Totmianina/Marinin or Dubé/Davison or Zhang/Zhang of course.

Mine:

Yuzuru has a lot of cool falls
- split-fall https://youtu.be/l4xTmzWHeEw?t=2m22s
- nice leg strength https://youtu.be/OgKctLXjflY?t=3m26s
- in spin, his reaction was cute https://youtu.be/VOM59JQ76wQ?t=4m59s

Valentina's perfectly timed to the music https://youtu.be/STknSRRnlg8?t=3m27s

Bourne/Kraatz oly 2002 end fall (and trying to make us think it was choreographed) https://youtu.be/Rhn8dBLz_4A?t=4m53s

Plushy's fall at oly gala 2002 (i love his reaction to it) https://youtu.be/ORUPuKhjTp8?t=4m45s

of course epic Midori jumping out of the rink https://youtu.be/zc0qxdfKGGw?t=3m13s

the iconic reaction of Ksenia to Fedor's fall https://youtu.be/56D56iIW_Fk?t=4m45s

Patrick Chan has a lot of weird falls. This 11GPF one https://youtu.be/tR3NG7FpkZ8?t=4m59s is actually made so much better by Daisuke and his coach reaction in the K&C https://youtu.be/BWv9IhtsHik?t=19s
The TEB spin fall is pretty special to me because I saw it live https://youtu.be/WxQBI3gcZLc?t=4m39s. Seriously Patrick has the weirdest falls. The 2012WC waxel fall was also pretty funny tbh.

I'm hoping someone here has a better memory than I do - wasn't there a competition a few years back where three Russian(?) pairs(?) all fell during or immediately after the program? I think one hit the ending pose and *then* collapsed... so they actually escaped the -1 deduction (I'm pretty sure). Any help would be much appreciated!

Max Aaron's SP at US International had a weird fall in the StSeq that had us scratching our heads. Was the cute little jog out once he stoop up a part of the actual Choreography or was it thrown in to cover up the blunder. What exactly was he trying to do after the twizzle that caused such a bizarre fall. If you're going to fall it might as well be early in the season and have added choreography ;)

Yuzu's fall during a spin which ended with a smile!

Midori's adventures 1991 worlds might make for a good video actually for our video artist, If we could find footage of her collision during practice, then her jump out, then her apologizing all in one cohesive video, I think it would end up with a lot of views.

I love on Patrick's jump fall how concerned Daisuke seems, once again, the men warm my heart.

I think there was another one where he just tripped forward on the steps (caught the toe-pick, maybe?). I can't remember which performance it was from... maybe some skate of Aranjuez, since I remember a red outfit.
