Meh, though he's not on the floor while laughing. The meanin' isn't that distorted, but if while falling he's laughing, implies that the falling is the continous action which would mean he could not be laughing after he hits the ground, or he could be getting up and falling over repeatedly while laughing.
But it would make sence to remove the final word all together to say he is currently on the floor while laughing. ROFL this is a fun thing but it turned into a serious Klingon chat... X'D

Either way, but note the difference:
ravDaq pumtaHvIS Hagh
while falling (on)to the floor, he laughs
ravDaq pum HaghtaHvIS
he falls (on)to the floor, while laughing
BTW Klingons tend to put the subordinate clause first though it's not required:
HaghtaHvIS ravDaq pum
while laughing, he falls (on)to the floor
and if you want, you can even move the place stamp to modify the
subordinate verb:
ravDaq HaghtaHvIS pum
while laughing on the floor, he falls
although this version doesn't make much sense.
