This is fucked up (Broken Beug)

Long story short,
I got grabbed and tackled by a "mate" who's new bong was sitting on the floor not far away (I didn't provoke this in anyway) on a couch. He just bought the piece 2 hours ago. Anyway i accidentally kicked the piece when i got grabbed because my legs had nowhere else to go apparently its all MY fault its broken and i owe money cause its easy to just blame me when in reality it wouldn't of broken if i didn't get hassled. I've broke this dudes piece before by kicking it over walking without looking, it was fair to owe money THAT time. But this time wasn't like that, i see it as not really my fault, so does everyone else that was there except the guy who's piece it was....
What do you think is the fair thing to do?

The fair thing to do is to tell him he is fucking stupid right to his face and then find a new "mate".

I have been in similiar situations before and they are really shitty, like you said in certain cases it makes sense to ask for money but even then glass is glass.
The few occasions people have broken my bongs I didn't make a big deal about it at all, to be fair they were always pretty cheap/ old though

Great advice. Why doesn't he beat him up and possibly gain some assault charges while he's at it.
Seriously tho OP, calmly talk to the guy. Tell him how you and every one else feel's. Tell him it's the guy's fault who tackled you and made you break it. Then put pressure on that motherfucker who tackled you to pay for the shit.
Then break contact with your friend that's trying to fuck you.
If none of that work's for you just tell him how it's not your fault and break contact with the guy if it's worth it to you and you do not value the guy as a person/ friend.

One time I broke a friend's bong bowl and he tried to tell me it was worth $60 and I owed him that much. It came time to seriously reassess the nature of our friendship.

Because that would be fucking stupid, and way too far, obviously.

The right thing to do is call him a fucking idiot who should've never tackled you. JK. Actually, the best thing to do would be to move on and cut dat fool off if you guys can't talk it out and make him understand that if you weren't tackled in the first place the bong would've never broke. The only time you should replace property of others is if YOU actually broke it yourself. For example... When I was young I told my friend I'd clean his bowl and he was going to let me keep all the res. (a shitttt tooon of rez, EWWWIE but back then I'd happily smoke it) While cleaning it I accidentally dropped it and it broke. I bought him replacement bowl that same week. He was happy.
edit: wanted to add more detail.

Yea calling some one stupid to their face should't be to obnoxious and escalate a already sensitive situation...

Yeah dude, Thing is he's more of a mate of a mate that chills at the same house as me, We have our bad and good days but in situations like these i see that its not a real friendship, A real mate wouldn't do something so fucking retarded and treat me that way over it. So i can cut off the people but its shitty cause ill be cutting off real friends at the same time, ones that know I'm not to blame over it.
Its refreshing that people that I've never met in my life in another country are still more logical then most people i chill with haha

 I have had multiple people break pieces of mine on accident, and I usually just insist it isn't a big deal its just glass. I've had a few people tell me they'll replace it with a new one, never saw those lol while I've replaced a couple pieces for people that I accidently broke. But now that I only smoke off off hundreds if not thousands of dollars of glass, I am much more careful who touches my glass and where my glass is.

I had the same exact friend break two bongs of mine, and at least one bowl that I know of got broken, and a large collection of pieces at his house grew legs and walk away. Had 17 pieces in a cabinet there, now I have to search the place and am lucky to come up with 3 of them anymore. Maybe I should hold him responsible and tell him he owes me money lol.
I don't blame the disappearing pieces on him, some of them I've seen at other friends houses months/years later, and don't say anything about it because I really don't care too much. But he broke the first bong, said he was gonna replace it, waited 2 years, he never did, I finally bought a new one myself, used it twice, then he broke that one too using it on his own while I wasn't there. Said he was gonna replace it, its been another two years and I'm still without a bong.

Either give him the money or tell him to fuck off. Only two options you really get OP.
I'd go with the latter.

Thats just a risk I feel I had to take to store my shit. I didn't have my own place at the time so it was really my only option, and I'd rather have friends take 50 pieces from me than get pulled over with 1. I get pulled over a lot. Its not worth going to my various friends houses and trying to bring them back. I just accept that they'll all disappear one day.
Even found one at a "new" dealers house when grabbing bud. Smoked out of it, said it looked familiar, dealer said their brother gave it to them, who ended up being a mutual friend between me and the friend whose house all my pieces were at. Then I realized what was going on. They offered it back, but like I said earlier, I don't want to get caught with a piece. I get pulled over weekly, getting caught with nug is bad enough, getting caught with a piece gets my car impounded. They can have em. The most expensive ones are like $40 and a lot of them I got for $free.
Knowing my friend who was storing them, his mindset was probably "Well he cant use them all at once, so if anyone needs one they can take it", it was pretty excessive to have that many lol. Nobody I knew ever wanted to trade nug for glass.

Why do you get pulled over all the time? I've only been pulled over once in my life.

I hate people who always wanna horse around and play the "tough guy games". You can tell them a hundred times you don't like that shit and they'll still do it. Invariably something happens as a direct result of their actions and it's always somehow your fault. Their phone gets dropped, clothes ripped or they catch an elbow to the face and now they want to fight you because of it. I don't even apologize no matter what it is. I'm quick to point out it was 100% their own fault.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Just let it ride, no need to face the guy up. Just never pay him.
