I was quite fortunate, Evan, in that I was working over the granite countertop of my kitchen island. I heard them hit and knew immediately (after issuing a few expletives). I'm lucky they didn't go bouncing and then rolling onto the floor. I honestly wasn't expecting them to come out at all.
Many years ago I apprenticed for 6 months in the camera repair business. We used sheets of wet suit material, inside side up to cover our work surfaces. You can get scraps cheaply at dive shops that make custom wet suits and cut them to fit.
Little parts don't bounce on them. They bounce on the outer side, so make sure you've got the right one up. :-) ("green side up, green side up, green side up")
A small magnet is good to pick up those steel parts that fall and are missed.
