Unfortunately dance price not likely to fall? (8-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accident-prone

'likely to fall?' is the definition.
(likely to fall or trip over)

'unfortunately dance price not' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' indicates an anagram.
'dance'+'price'+'not'='dancepricenot'
'dancepricenot' with letters rearranged gives 'ACCIDENT-PRONE'.

(Other definitions for accident-prone that I've seen before include "Given to mishaps" , "Susceptible to mishap" , "Unusually susceptible to mishaps" , "Given to misadventure" , "With a Tendency to suffer misfortune" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
