Given the nature of this particular thread, I would say that decking meant you hit the ground because something went wrong. Falling before the first bolt would not be decking (in the context of this thread examing preventable accidents). Falling when bouldering/free soloing is not decking. So hitting the deck and getting injured before getting to the first bolt is, perhaps, a dangerous sport climb but not that relevant for this thread. Hitting the deck on a trad climb where you haven't yet placed a piece, but could have, maybe counts (40 foot fall, yes, 5 foot fall, no). Injury is not required. My $0.02 worth.
