Turbo Snails
I have a question for everyone, have you ever had a turbo snail decided to fall off the glass or a rock and land upside down? I have had several times and i just turned them upright. A few weeks ago there was one that fell upside down in one of my caves and i couldn't get him, i would have had to move my rocks around, and you know what would happen if i did, i would have to rearrange it again, and again because i could never get it back to the way i want it
 i thought he would turn over, but sadly he perished

All snails do that. Usually turbos are able to get themselves upright though. Maybe it was going to die regardless, it shouldn't be constanly falling.

I knocked a few off (while cleaning the glass) the ones i have are about 2-3" maybe it was old? How long do they live? Everything in the tank is ok though.

i have not seen my turbo upside down so i can say for sure. but hes huge so if it did fall off the rocks/glass he should be able to reach something to grab hold of LOL. hes over 3" in dia..
