I'm thinking the soil is too soft. Since bananas are shallow rooted it would then be easy for the plant to lean over & tip over. .... So the questions now are: How deep is the compost? .... Are the corms growing in natural soil or the compost above?

You may need to keep the compost/mulch to a few inches thickness & no more for weed control.
