A human falling down from three times their own height (six metres or so) would be horribly injured, while bugs seem to just walk on. How does this work? Shouldn’t they be falling at a similar speed, due to gravity?

Insects are built to jump and safely land at much greater distances relative to their size than humans are. They have multiple limbs to absorb the impact and are tiny…so far less effected by gravity to begin with. Plus they have exoskeletons to protect their insides from damage.
