It's like that thing about that hand clapping

I wonder if the same can be said as the whole if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound thing.

Basically, does a person fall on their ass if there is no one around to see it?

I fell, ON MY ASS, in front of my senior manager and another senior manager, and I didn't even fall off/over/through anything. I just went from vertical to ON MY ASS with no apparent cause.

My Senior Manager: Um, are you okay?
Me: Yeah, I'm fine.
MSM: (Trying valiantly not to laugh) I'm sorry, but did you just fall off your shoes?
Me: Yeah... I... pretty much.

Kind of like falling up the stairs in front of about 50 of my middle school students. No particular reason, I'm just a little klutzy.
