I don't think the rules really anticipate this kind of accident. They are written to address "normal" game play situations. So we're expected to apply some common sense when unusual things happen. For example, there is an NFSH case play about a free thrower who fumbles the ball into the lane (arguably a similar kind of situation), and the ruling is to blow it dead and reset. I think the way it was handled is within the spirit of the rules and acceptable.
