It depends on where and when you fall. For reference, here are some of the time's I've fallen in public:
On a set of outside stairs in a parking lot: Stand up, smooth down your clothes, smile and thank anyone that asks if you're alright, keep walking. Very few people probably saw you, so don't make a big deal of it.
Inside stairs in a crowded hallway: Yell about how you hate these stairs. Loudly. People already noticed so you might as well put the blame on the stairs instead of yourself.
Off a stage at a concert/graduation/etc.: Stand up, take a bow, wave, and walk casually back to wherever you were going. Next time you try to get offstage, make a big show of it. Everyone's already laughing at you, so if you act like a ham, they'll laugh with you instead.

Just pick yourself up and say I don't know where that came from. Unless your in a gym class dodging for the ball and you fall flat down, get back up and chase the ball as usual.

Laugh. Look at the nearest couple of people straight in the eye and laugh, shrug, get up, dust off and say bye as you walk away smiling.

Get back on your feet and laugh the embarrassment off. Humour always saves the day!

You could sit/lay there forever. You can stand up. You can crawl to your destination. You can burst out in tears. You can sue the venue. You can yell at your friend for tripping you.
That's pretty much what you can do.

I say just laugh at the situation and get up and keep on going with life.

Just laugh and get up. It will only be remembered by everyone if you get embarrassed and react badly.

Just jump back up and say, "I'm OK. The only thing I hurt is my pride." And then just let it drop. Don't keep mentioning it.

Just laugh it off and say,"Well,that was a nice "trip"! See you next "fall"!
Don't sweat it.
