Not sure I agree here.

If B1's position was in A1's path to start with (which is usually the case in such "flops"...otherwise we wouldn't be discussing what to do if they fall...it would have already been a block), falling backwards to the floor is no more taking is landing spot away than was already the case.

Now, if B1 falls INTO A1's path, fine, you can have a block. But really, how many times do the player's fall sideways....which is probably the case needed to fall into A1's path.
