7-5-2d states, A pass intentionally thrown into an area not occupied by an eligible offensive receiver. My question is; how does one unintentionally throw a pass?

When the defense has a hold of you and swings you around and the ball goes flying out of your hand.

As noted by BTL the description is intended to indicate that the passer intentionally dumped the ball into an open area while not in contact with a defensive player.  ie: He intentionally threw it to an unoccupied spot.
