21lbs on a low surface area stand? I don't think I've ever built a computer that weighed <50lbs . I'm sure it's designed to withstand some force from different directions, but children and pets have done damage to heavier things... especially when there is a power cable under the desk.
I don't think its as hard as you imagine. Yes, its heavy (at least heavier then a MBP), but someone tripping over a cord certainly can pull that off a desk.
I have cried
5k feel off table and the side hit a chair which is what actually bent the housing and cracked the screen.
Does anyone know if it's possible to fix the screen!?View attachment 597660
Apple Store will not fix your screen. They will state, that the enclosure is bent to a degree, which prevents them to replace the screen. They will have to replace enclosure as well (yes, they can do that - basically they transfer all internals to a new housing). Sorry to tell you, but this will be a pricey repair. Might be cheaper to sell it as damaged and buy yourself a new one.
Obviously if it isn't covered then it will cost the OP some big dollars. The idea above at first might seem silly but if I didn't have the money to fix it, I would move all the icons like laudern said and cover up that area with some stickers or something. Sometimes you gotta just work with what you got.

No imagination necessary. I've got a 27" 5k iMac, and have managed to trip on its cord. My pride ended up worse off than the iMac did coming out of that encounter.
Incidentally: Yanking the power cord on a 27" iMac does not cause it to tip over. The screen will tilt downward, and if the desk surface is smooth enough the base will slide an inch or two. But that characteristic is no different that if, say, a small form-factor desktop PC had its power cord tripped up.
