There are a variety of ways to express the concept of "fall." It depends on your meaning.
If you mean "fall" as in "fall down" or "fell onto the ground" you can use a "V"-handshape to represent a person falling. You can modify the movement of the falling process to show exactly how the person fell (this is called "using a classifier").
FALL-DOWN
You can modify the FALL sign to mean "fall" as in to "fall off of something."
Use the upside down "V"-handshape to "stand on the non-dominant palm. Then show the "V"-handshape falling off the palm and downward a foot or so.
FALL-off:
Notes:
You can do the FALL sign from the head area (hold the "V"-handshape up near your scalp) using and moving both hands alternately (first one hand then the other) to mean "hair fall out."
