Catch your own fumble

[cford]

Thanks Daryl for breaking it down. It sounds like this is something that needs to be clarified by the rules committee.

A fumble is the accidental loss of player control when the ball unintentionally drops or slips from a player's grasp.

Player has control of the ball. Player jumps in the air and fumbles the ball (player control ends). Player gains control of the ball while in the air (player control begins). This is the same as if a player caught a pass in the air.
