The rule is that a player who secures the ball while on the floor may continue his/her slide until it is complete. A player not already on the floor travels upon falling to the floor.
IMO, a player who secures the ball while in the air and then lands and slides has traveled. The location of the ball when this person secured it is not relevant.
