(1) IF the fielder is in dead ball territory when he releases the throw AND (2) IF he is in the act of "falling" when he releases the throw AND (3) IF he subsequently "falls" on his behind THEN IMHO the ball is DEAD and the throw is NOT allowed. OTOH, (1) IF the fielder is NOT in dead ball territory when he releases the throw OR (2) IF the fielder is NOT in the act of "falling" when he releases the throw i.e. he has complete body control OR (3) IF the fielder does NOT subsequently "fall" on his behind THEN IMHO the ball is ALIVE and the throw IS allowed. I stress that this is purely a personal opinion, but you can certainly see the timing issue with respect to when the fielder has actually released the ball (Time of the Throw) and whether he was in the act of "falling" at that time.
