The water careened off the cliff.
The car careened off the cliff

The error cascaded through the computers
The water cascaded off the rocks,

People who would refer to a singular waterfall as a cascade are incorrect. 

People who refer to the action of the water (it cascaded down the cliff) are not so far off, but it would not be referred to as a cascade.

But people muddy the meaning with incorrect usage.

The example pic I linked to is different than all the waterfalls I have seen.
