The case play cited by jdw addresses this situation exactly. Violation.

So you are saying that a player can not legally
dive for the ball and gain possession without it being a violation unless he/she defys gravity.
A player landing on their back and staying on their back is no different than a player landing on their feet and staying on their feet.
The rule you are emphasizing uses the word
FALL. Falling requires that you be standing or upright first.
