Try printing with a raft for better adhesion on small points like that. You may also try printing with supports.
If at first you don't succeed, you're doing something wrong. Try again, and if it fails again, try once more. Through trial and error, one can be the first to accomplish something great.

It's not a raft he needs, but a brim. The surface area that's actually in contact with the bed is way too small for that large of a part. The drag friction of the plastic coming out of the nozzle is going to treat that part like a huge lever and will eventually overcome the adhesion of that tiny area.
