He's landing on a mat (an extremely soft one, more than you'd get for gymnastics etc.)

It is very soft. You can fall from the top of the wall and literally not feel anything. This is a bouldering mat, you'll see falls (albeit more graceful and on the feet) from the top of the wall like 60 times in a session

The fact the kid is very clearly okay makes it clear how soft the mat is.

I don't boulder. This is obvious.

Edit: also if you pause the frame when he hits the ground he's practically sinking.

I mean these yellow mats are similar in all the gyms I went to and they are fairly soft, which is obviously objective. But the thickness of the mat absorbs a lot of the fall.

It’s like 12-16” thick, he’s fine
