What I don't get is if you are in that position, why drive down??
Hold the player accept you have given a penalty, but hold him until help arrives to put him down safely. I could understand if it was a weight issue, but when vertical he can stop the momentum and just hold.
That way he gives a penalty, gets a warning, but there is no pile drive, no red card and no inquest. People see a genuine attempt to rectify the problem tackle and everyone walks away happy.

It may be worth pointing out that the ban for the McKinnon tackle wasn't just 7 matches on the tackle alone.
In Australia they have a 'points' system whereby the tackle will be awarded a certain number of points looking at different factors, for each 100 points a one game ban is given.
The tackler in the McKinnon case was given 325 points for the tackle but then a further 400 points for the injury resulting in a 7 game ban.
