MacBook Pro Crashed while it was closed

The Lone Deranger
Today while walking around, I had my MBP in a laptop bag, and had that in my backpack. On the bus, the backpack fell on the floor (not too hard though). When I opened the laptop again, I noticed it was really really warm and had shut down. After I turned it back on, it showed a "Problem Report" window and my fully charged batter had dropped down to 50%.

Why did this happen, did the drop do it or can this randomly occur?

Here's the error report:

I would imagine the drop did it. Laptops aren't really meant to be left on and then slung around in a backpack. Its not a cell phone after all. Best thing to do is shut them down completely and pack them in a shock proof laptop carrying case.
 
I rarely shut down the Mac - they are meant to be fine with just being asleep.

In that log the problem was by UserEventAgent. Which doesn't tell much yet...

Is there anything in the logs in Console before it booted up last time? It might contain more info in what was happening system wide. Could it have been woken in that drop? Could something else have waken the system? Could some process have gone wild for some other reason? Console would show some more info. Look under the archived logs for system if it doesn't go old enough in the main view.
