Loud bumps in the night and a tragedy

So I had recently set up a 120 quart coolidor in my bedroom closet and while it's not on the biggest shelf it has plenty of room and shouldn't move very much. It was holding 70% humidity perfectly with beads and everything seemed to be going great.

In the middle of the night last night I hear this huge jumble that woke me & my girlfriend out of a dead sleep. At first I thought maybe someone had broken in and was going through my stuff but there were no other sounds after that.

I ventured into my closet to see my coolidor lying on the ground with the lid wide open and my cigars all strewen across the floor. As I was picking up the fallen soldiers I found one that was wounded beyond repair. It was my Partagas 160 Robusto Minor single that I had been looking forward to trying soon. This thing is $16 a my local B&M (I didn't pay that much but I can't get the same deal now). :(

I may move all my super-premiums and HTF sticks to my desktop humi so this doesn't happen again. I would hate for one of my Anejo or Opus singles to be destroyed.
 
Yeah i've been thinking up ways to keep that sucker on the shelf. Duct tape and nails have definitely been in the plans so far.

So I assume it slid off the shelf? Sounds pretty easy to fix IF that's all it is.

Maybe a bungee cord fix? Two, one from each handle to any sturdy anchor(s)?

I really don't see how it just slid off as it takes a considerable amount of force if you try to push it off. I have it lying on it's side on a shelf...I may just move it to the ground and not worry about any fancy placement.
