posture or position such that a grapple is no longer
physically possible – due to reach, facing, relative facing, or
orientation – then you and your foe must release your grip(s);

I'm not actually clear on whether this means that someone being grapped can choose to drop prone and, in the process, break free, or that they cannot choose to drop prone at all without taking down the other party.
(Which, in the situation being discussed, would probably require grappling them first! The grapple here is one-sided.)
