I saw an ant on the table today, I brushed it aside and it fell on from the kitchen table to the floor, around 3 feet. I then saw the ant continue to move forward as if nothing happened. I feel a human may potentially break a leg if falling from a comparable height. So I’m curious, why did the ant not break any legs?

Ants experience less impact force when they fall, and their exoskeletons are pretty tough. Plus, their small legs can easily absorb the shock. So, they’re basically built to handle those drops.
