MDG – You are a bit off with upswing and downswing. The Gem. and Rambam clearly say upswing is patur from galus and downswing is chayiv galus from the use of the word vayapol “and it fell” in the posuk in Bamidbar 35. The Rambam seems to explain it that things which fall downwards are more likely to damage because they move faster.
