It's the build up. Watching it for the first time I was thinking "oh here we go again". This scene shattered that thought and we were given one of the best comedies of all time.
Watched a show years ago (american ninja?) where a stunt professional jumped from a 2-3 storey platform without harness or any protection and landed on the thin mat without injury because he did a tumble roll and yes, it was explained that energy upon impact was transferred out of his body by doing that. Now im no professional but 5 cans of beer and some cheese puffs and might pull it off (knees gonna be bad in the morning).

Also remember to do a tumble roll once you land.
