"He tripped off a ledge." He lost his balance and fell off. "Tipped off" would make sense. A tip is a small donation/gift. A gift/donation is giving someone something for free. A tip can be information or money. Tipping someone off means you are giving them helpful information that allows them to avoid, or benefit from, some kind of consequence.

Tripped off can be used as slang but it would probably be i'm tripping which is kind of like i'm imagining things..
