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?

2 things:
1: Terminal velocity(aka the maxspeed at which you can fall outside of a vaccum), is based on your overall weight vs your overall surface area: for a human sized creature this is a known value while for an ant sized creature this is much lower.
2: Exoskeletons are neat at resisting impacts compared ot endoskeletons that have ot face the stresses of supporting themselves aswell as the impact.
