A common saying goes, "It's not the fall that
hurts you; it's the sudden stop."
Translate this into Newton's laws of motion.
1. All are wrong.
2. Newton's First law
3. Gravitation law
4. Newton's second law
5. Newton's third law

The sudden stop involves a large acceleration. In accord with A=f/m . According to Newton's secound law of motion, air resistance doesn't have a chance to build up and become equal to the falling person's weight.This causes the individual to reach a high terminal speed.
Also, the third law. When an object exerts a force, the secound object will exert an equal and opposite force. The accelerated force you used to land is exerted right back on you. OUCH!

2. which states objects in motion tend to stay in motion
you would keep falling if it weren't for the force the ground puts on you. this "sudden stop" is what hurts you. because of this stop that took you out of your intended constant motion your first body -ground contact stops but the rest keeps going. causing you pain.
thats the best i can explain it.
