For example, say F1 is covering first to retire B/R on a grounder to F3. F1 clearly catches the toss from F3, touches the bag with his foot and the runner runs up his back. This causes him to take a couple of stumbling steps and fall. Bracing his fall with both hands causes the ball to come out of his glove on impact. Now, maybe the proper call is no catch/no out, but I doubt there would be much argument from OT if it was ruled an out. Compare this to a stumbling outfielder where it would most definitely be ruled no catch.
