Accidents and injures vocabulary

6/10! A weak knowledge of accidents vocabulary. Smile

1) I typed "fall over" in 4. But the correct answer was "trip over". I looked it up in the dictionary and found that to fall over is AmE informal for to stumble. Is it true? If yes, could I use both of these phrasal verbs in this situation?

2) "fall out", "fall down" and "fall off" made me completely confused. I mixed them.

Could anyone explain to me the rules of their usage?
Thank you in advance.

I guess there is no rules ,

"Fall down " - easy one, connect with stairs , but I was sure that "out" connect with a bike and "off" - with a tree. But...
