take a digger 

1. Commonly used to describe an ungraceful fall.
2. Fall forward or trip and land on one's face
Derived from the volleyball slang- a Digshot is a desperation diving hit that results in a faceful of sand.
I wasn't paying attention and I took a digger when I tripped on the crack in the pavement. I can't believe I fell flat on my face.
