OBR / NCAA catch and carry

Would you consider this a "fall" in OBR or "lost body control" in NCAA and award one base? What about 2 knees? Basically what I'm asking is (OBR) when is a fall considered a fall for the purposes of this rule?

2) Fielder makes catch while sitting/balancing on the top of the fence. His feet then flop over to the other side of the fence and lands easily on both feet and makes a throw back to the field.

Would you kill the ball when he lands on the other side of the fence and award one base? Does it matter if it's the outfield fence or a fence in foul territory?

Thanks guys!

Throws the ball back in from dead ball territory?

Legal from DBT (Not legal from stands - dead ball one base from the stands).

In NCAA you can groundrule that he has to return to LBT first.
