Default Aeonium 'blushing beauty' top heavy

I have a lovely Aeonium blushing beauty. Until this afternoon, it had multiple 'branches'.

My little boy's friend accidentally fell on the plant, and although the main stem didn't snap, several branches were crushed. Once I removed them, I noticed that the plant is quite top heavy. This is of course because a huge rosette at the top contains further rosettes and so the thing is naturally top heavy.

I'm worried that it's vulnerable to snapping if a similar thing happens again or that it might just keel over when it rains.

Any ideas?

Thank you
