It doesn't, Mick.
I would not make such a call. If a defender with the ball reached for a tag, tripped and knocked a runner off the bag accidentally, you would rule the runner out if the defender made a tag? Not me.
If the runner reached the base first and did not lose contact voluntarily or without coercion from the defender, I am not going to rule that runner out.
