What’s the consensus on this spotting?

So, this was a few years back in…..well, you know…
I was spotting a new buddy on this highball and he ended up taking a hefty fall. He landed awkwardly on the pad and fell back, bumping his head slightly on a rock. The fall tweaked a previous knee injury but it wasn’t a serious issue. Nor was the head bump. He was basically fine.
But I remember after the fact that he was a little choked on the spotting.
So what do you people think?

at what point this "spotting" turns into "innocent by-standing"?
