I've been thrown like that! This is one of those ukemis where you have to "just know" when to tuck your knees up and change your distribution of mass to accelerate yourself past the point where you would probably just get dumped on your head.

I find that sometimes if I were going for nikkyo and someone resists that I like iriminage as a natural evolution. But I have to say that I never considered trying this boulder drop throw as a variation of iriminage. Seems like if you can do that one, you should be able to do iriminage.
