Depending on how egregiously early the fall is its a block on any contact with an airborne shooter. Most of the times the defenders properly just brace for impact but if they are half way to the floor and then there's contact, I'm not no-calling it or calling a PC.
Yes, we do know what it means. Verticality & Cylinder is about moving out of your space INTO the opponent's space, not about moving part of your body away from the opponent. Nothing about falling back invades the opponent's space.
