Once a fielder leaves the field of play, it doesn't matter if he kept his feet or not. On MLB fields, the dugout is usually the only DBT that is within the field of play. That is what the specific rules of falling while in DBT address. On non MLB fields, you may have the white line marking DBT. Home ground rules usually cover what is to happen in different situations concerning this area. Once out of the field of play, all bets are off and the appropriate rules/awards govern.
