aleCcowaN is on a distinguished road
freefall (physics) = caída libre

freefall (figuratively) = en picada (plummeting) / cuesta abajo (downhill) / al caño (down the drain)

Los precios cayeron en picada [bruscamente]/ Los precios no dejaban de caer/ Los precios caían y caían / Los precios caían y seguían cayendo

Cuando perdió el empleo su vida empezó a irse al caño.

Adquirió el vicio y desde ese momento todo fue cuesta abajo.

[a la deriva = adrift]
