It turns out that the effects of microgravity on medaka aren’t much different than our own—the effects just set in much faster. For humans, it takes at least ten days for the symptoms to start showing up, but according to a new study published in the journal Scientific Reports, the fish started losing bone density almost immediately upon arriving in orbit. Since humans and medaka grow their skeletons in similar ways, that gives scientists a good starting point to figure out how the process actually occurs, Byrne reports.
Well, if you had artificial gravity — like, a spacecraft/space station with some sort of rotating cylinder, so that you get a similar effect from inertia to what we get from gravity on Earth — you could effectively do it, though maybe you could quibble on whether it’d technically count as “falling”. Science fiction and such has presented that as something likely necessary if one needs to spend lots of time in space.
Falling and breaking a hip.
Being eaten alive by a shark.
I think that a shark could technically be shipped into outer space, along with water for it to live in.

It does sound like fish might not do so well in zero gravity, but they can apparently function in it.

Hmm… Would messing up throwing yourself in zero g and hitting something wrong count?
