It's a direct translation to the point where it's misunderstood. "Head over heels" is implying you've rolled forward fully, like a somersault, since that puts your head above the back of your feet during the forward roll. But it's not full on "above" your heels. And your head is always over your feet. So it doesn't make much sense here.
