Everything with the handle down (only sharp things the other way around to reduce the risk of cutting yourself) is the recommended way by most manufacturers.
anything sharp enough to damage the dishwasher bins or a person should be hand washed. unless you're running a food service operation and have to use the dishwasher (the appliance).
I am pleased to tell you that I have successfully hurt my finger by accidentally grabbing a children's fork too fast (and miscalculated it's length). It hurt and bled.
I'm sure I could do the same with a spoon of I tried hard enough (:
