How about "fell like a leaf made of iron: tumbling end-over-end rapidly to the ground"?
If not, you could try "as if the ground was stretching out towards him/her/it, greedy to have him/her/it in their clutch.
An example of a falling simile is "as easy as falling off a log".
"Falling like raindrops made of lead" is another good example.
Another example could be "I saw the man fall like dominoes". Or "I watched them fall like a tumbling house of cards".

One example of a simile in Shel Silverstein's "Falling Up" is "I'm turning into something that no one else has seen, something that's not too likely, something like a dream." This compares the transformation of the speaker into something unique and dreamlike using the word "like."

The simile poem in the 2nd stanza of "Ballad of a Mother's Heart" compares a mother's love to the "ever-falling drops of rain." Just as rain is constant and unending, the poem suggests that a mother's love is continuous and unwavering.
