Partially responsible? Slightly jumped?
Jumped is an absolute statement BH. He either did or he didn't. Kurtley jumped into the tackle. As soon as he did he caused his momentum to be translated from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction, he also lowered the point of contact from the tackler to a position that was far more likely to tip himself and he also made himself more prone to tipping by not having his boots in contact with the ground. They counteract the force of the impact to some degree and help prevent him being flipped.
Johnson went to make a regulation tackle and was yellow carded. There is nothing more he could've done to stop Beale tipping.

I agree that whether Beale jumped or not is an absolute but there is a large range between keeping your feet firmly planted on the ground and trying to hurdle the defender.
Beale was only just off the ground after trying to execute a pass above the defender arriving to tackle him.
Lifting tackles have been by far the most focused on area of dangerous play in recent years. It has been made incredibly clear that a defender has the ultimate responsibility not to put a player in a dangerous position almost regardless of the tackled player being partially responsible. It isn't nearly good enough to be able to say that the only reason the player was flipped over is because their momentum was going upwards when they went into the tackle.
I completely understand what you're saying but a clear choice has been made that the defender is responsible and has to avoid putting the attacking player in a dangerous position in the tackle.
