I played with a trumpet player several years ago who passed out during his final master's degree recital. He said that he just fell directly forward onto his face, trumpet still in place. Fortunately, he didn't fall off the stage. Unfortunately, his trumpet knocked out several front teeth, severely lacerated his upper lip, and broke his jaw. It took him more than a year to begin playing again. When I heard him he sounded great.
