Take a tumble (4)

I think it could be either:

trip

fall

'take a tumble' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fall that I've seen before include "Rapid descent" , "Trip over - flag" , "Stumble" , "Tumble, drop" , "The American autumn" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Times and the LA Times.
