It's all about player safety in a situation like this, especially at amateur....

No, it's not about player safety. It's about whether he's down. If his forward progress is stopped, then by all means blow your whistle if you want. Because at that point he's down and the ball is dead.
Blowing the whistle doesn't make anyone safer, it's just a recipe for an IW.
