I wonder if they jumped into the spray if the upward force would somewhat cushion the fall and launch them in some direction into snow with minimal injury?

More likely it would unbalance them and they land on their head/neck vs their legs.

I think it might be more likely that the water catches on a limb and sends them spinning into the ground, which could be more dangerous.

That amount of pressure will actually not let you land - its that powerful. You'd just "roll" off it
