Not had it myself but facebooked you some info on it, will put it here incase anyone else is wondering what it could be, apparently it is some kind of seizure.
Atonic seizures
In an atonic seizure (or 'drop attack') the person’s muscles suddenly relax, and they become floppy. If they are standing they often fall, usually forwards.
Hope you manage to get some answers hun.

Yuck to drop seizures. They usually just involve my head and upper torso but I've had them involve the entire body too but fortunately they've just happened when I've been walking down a hallway, through my kitchen and close to a wall (just grazed it on the way down).
I call it faceplanting.
Some poor souls who are prone to them frequently have to wear helmets I believe to protect themselves.
I'm aware for them and feel the pain during. Are you aware too? Or unconscious? Do you remember what happens after?
