It's not hard to reattach. I had the same thing happen to my Super A when I was running through knee deep mud (camera and flash quickly thrown into a water proof bag over my shoulder) when someone I was with had a suspected bluering octopus bite (quite often fatal) and the nearest phone was 600 metres away through the mud. Take the top cover off the camera and you will find 4 screws that normally hold the hot shoe to the camera. You can probably still use these to simply reattach it. I didn't want it to happen again so I added a bit of epoxy to hold the hotshoe in place. I was using it again later that day and it never fell off again (though it was stolen 2 years later so it may have had problems since). Hope this helps.
