In any case, the natural position of the arms on a falling player is in front in a bracing position.

Also, instinctual movement of the arms within the frame of the body, that is in front of a part of the body it's legal to play the ball with, should not be considered deliberate handling.

I agree that in no case could it be dangerous play.
I agree with the above post. No foul as described.
