I mean, when a person suddenly falls, there's really just no way to save them, is there?

There is. You just need to spread out the deceleration from a few centimeters to a few meters in the falling direction, and make sure the force is being applied all over their body, not just a few spots (think bouncy castle vs rebar).

There is a video of someone jumping from a plane with no parachute into cardboard boxes
