I agree with most things you say Camron, but I'm not sure I agree with this one. I think an "attempt to get up" is open to interpretation. Is just the lifting if one knee enough to be traveling? Is it the foot being placed down that's traveling? Which part changes things to "attempting to get up"? This rule is so ambiguous (similar to "rolling over"), that it will continue to be ruled differently by many people because the parameters are so vaguely written.
