It's not quite as melodramatic as I made it sound, really. You just have to register whether the bar is falling forwards or backwards, and make sure you go the other way (sideways is not an option), with sufficient force to keep yourself and the bar apart. I was using the squat rack, so I sort of threw the bar at the safety bars while leaping backwards.
