Passanger Question

My husband has a BMW cruiser with a queen seat for me. Twice he has dropped it with me on the back. Both times we were just about to take off at a stop sign turning left when he hesitated thinking one of the other cars was about to go and he dropped the motorcycle. Both times he stayed was still on his feet with the handlebars in his hand. Both times I fell and landed maybe a foot above the motorcycle on my side, with only bruises. He blames both falls on me saying I leaned too far left. I always, always match my sitting position to be aligned with his. The last time it happened, the last 2 seconds before it fell, he screamed, “lean to the right”, I tried, he screamed it once more before it hit the ground, but I could not right myself up, I was on my way down. He says I should land on my feet like him when we fall. I do not have handle bars to hang onto (should I reach out for his shoulders?) and I am 5’3” tall and my feet are about 6 inches off the ground. So, I have to “fall” onto my left foot , and make sure it’s far enough out that the bike doesn’t hit my leg and then somehow balance myself?. What really is the best way to stop, and if needed, take a fall as a passenger on a queen seat?
