I like to treat all people in a sentence equally.
The problem is the english language is inadequate in many cases.
We really need another pronoun to go with he and she, but indeed we do have one. Whom.
So it should be:-
John kicked Peter in the head whom fell to the ground.
Do peter fell, it John fell
John kicked Peter in the head who fell to the ground.
Trouble is nobody uses whom.
