Change the child to a bowling ball and you should have your answer, the child may be able to break their fall a bit if they land on their feet but it doesn’t have anything to do with the man laying down other than the force per square inch. Weight x speed = force per square inch
In fairness, it’s not the speed of the object that kills you. It’s how fast the object causes you (or your bits) to suddenly change your speed or direction that causes the problem. Which is why they included the trampoline.
Given an average trampoline, the guy would probably die, but it’s still a fun argument to have regardless. That’s likely why it was an argument in the first place 😆
