Er, no, I don't. This is Quidditch, for heaven sakes. Four balls, 
fourteen players and a ref, broomsticks accelerating at 0 to 150 
mph in ten seconds, seven hundred something different kinds of  
fouls. Distractions are part of the game. Despite which, no one's 
ever been killed playing Quidditch at Hogwarts.

 I think the only way to fall off your broom is if somebody hexes it 
or  you lose consciousness. You're going to have a hard time 
convincing me that  Draco thought  that the mere sight of 
someone in Dementor robes was going to cause Harry to faint in 
terror. :)
