#Yes, but only under very specific circumstances


##Unless you prepared an action, you cannot cast earthbind while falling

> The rule for falling assumes that a creature **immediately** drops the entire distance when it falls. 

When you start falling, you drop immediately with no time to take an action. That is what makes *feather fall* so useful, because you can cast it as a *reaction* in response to falling which does interrupt the fall. Earthbind takes an action to cast and thus cannot be cast while falling.

The only way to get around this would have been to have prepared an action to cast *earthbind* if you start falling next round.

###Falling from >500 feet (optional rule)

Xanathars Guide to Everything provides an optional rule that allows for non-instant falling.

> When you fall from a great height, you instantly descend up to 500 feet. If you’re still falling on your next turn, you descend up to 500 feet at the end of that turn. 

So, if your DM is using the rule and if you fall from >500 feet you would be able to cast *earthbind*.

###If you find a way to cast earthbind while falling, you still need to fail a save

> The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or its flying speed (if any) is reduced to 0 feet for the spell’s duration. 

[Jeremy Crawford][1] says you cannot fail a save intentionally:

> No rule lets you opt to fail a save. As DM, I might allow it, assuming you aren't incapacitated or dominated. 

So, assuming your DM is abiding by this, you must roll and actually fail a strength save.

###If you can cast the spell in time and fail the save, you should reach the ground safely

> An airborne creature affected by this spell **safely descends** at 60 feet per round until it reaches the ground or the spell ends.
