I can see that this is hinging on how "before falling into dead ball territory" is defined. I believe that the rulesmakers intended this to mean "before the airborne player touches DBT." To interpret "falling" in this context as indicating the technical act of dropping toward the center of the earth as a result of the force of gravity is absurd.
It says "falling into a dead-ball area," not "falling toward a dead-ball area"! The air over DBT is not DBT.
Maybe "before having fallen into dead-ball territory" would be better.
