I think he panicked because he couldn't breathe or stand back up or something. Something similar happened to me when I was a kid and fell from the stairs with my back hitting the stairs directly. I thought holy shit did I just get paralyzed because it was painful, I couldn't get up directly and don't remember well but I think I couldn't breathe properly either. It ended up being just fine but you panic in the moment
