Completely agree... There is exactly one scene where the Wilhelm scream is appropriate and that's it.
That's because the officer falling is Ben Burt, the sound designer for Star Wars and many other movies, who made the scream his signature. (Although he didn't originate it.)
That doesn't clock as the traditional Wilhelm scream to me.
I'm not trying to say you're wrong, I don't know much about this. I'm just saying if I were watching this with zero context, I wouldn't recognize it as being the Wilhelm scream. Whereas normally I hear it in every movie it's in, pretty clearly.
Now that you mention it, the scream in that clip is similar but a bit different. Good catch.
The main point I was trying to make was that the person getting knocked off and falling is the person who made it popular. Personally, I hate the Wilhelm scream. It's way over used and really doesn't add anything to the scene it's in.
