The distance they jump/the speed at which they fall seems like it would be impossible to land without falling flat on your face. There is obviously some cool physics going on, but please.

It’s not fall damage. Think of it as “stopping damage”
If you fall off a building and hit the ground, you go from travelling “very fast” to “not moving” in an instant, that is the part that causes damage.
As you can see from ski jumpers, they are jumping from “very fast” to “pretty fast”.
They do not come to a sudden stop, which would usually cause a damaging impact, they slow down gradually because of the angle of the jump/ramp.
