How does a ball carrier get stopped by the defence in flag football?

By one of four ways:
1. His/her flag is pulled
2. He/she runs out of bounds
3. Depending on the league you play in but i believe that if he/she drops the ball (fumbles) the play is dead and the ball carrier is down.
4. He/she knee hits the ground they are deemed "stopped" (also depending on the league)
