This word makes 'falling' sound strong. It is like a sudden, big fall. It adds more feeling than just 'ochiru'.
This word is like saying "plop down" instead of "fall." It means the same thing as おちる (ochiru). But おっこちる sounds more sudden. It is also more casual. Do not use it in formal writing or talking.
Don't use this when you write formal papers. For example, don't use it in a business email. This word is very casual. It is like slang. Young people use it a lot. But it is not for serious talks.
