Human heads are oversized compared to other animals body:head ratio (to make room for brains). This means that falling over from standing is enough to kill you, if your head is the first thing to hit the ground.

Other than that, we’re relatively indestructible compared to other animals. Humans can recover from almost any injury (more than other animals).
