You know - personally - I would MUCH rather die by an AK and THEN fall to the ground, than to feel the fear all the way down and then die by hitting the ground. Then again I have a fear of falling from a height.
But I think that JKR meant us to think that IF Harry knocked a DE off his broom with an Expelliramus, it didn't necessarily mean he had killed him. After all, Harry & Hagrid live through their crash. So - Harry is supposedly being compassionate, even though I think he's actually being MORE cruel.
