You really need to practice the hell out of a flying takedown (or any flying technique)- they are high-risk, high-reward maneuvers, like spinning strikes.
In this case, I try to imagine doing this to someone on a sidewalk. You have to be very conscious of where you're going to land, and keep your chin tucked low to minimize risk of busting your head on the curb or a fire hydrant or any number of things. This is not something amateurs should practice with the hope of adding it to their self-defense tools. This is more advanced.
This would've been perfect for the White victim in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEiMjQ00jBQ
