I agree rule sets and officials/associations do a great job of clarifying what they mean. I just personally don't understand phrasing a rule in a way that makes it an impossibility. We all know what they want.
There are enough rules dealing with unsporting behaviour without me trying to decide if a kid fell because they are un coordinated, have no core strength, are a drama major, are hella soft and fall down to avoid getting knocked hard . . . let them lay there and deal with the fall out if I the contact didn't/shouldn't have caused it.
