Huh… I would have imagined a falling person would rip the rivets right out of the fabric and have part of the frame go up their ass, killing them even harder.
basically any amount of energy conversion is lossy - a loose fabric stretching and pulling on frame in a “wider fashion”, and any deformation of frame will require a lot energy - all subracting from your fall. and fame up in your tushie is at worst a life long pain in sitting or in bowel moments, a direct fall is iinsta death from basically anything above, lets say, 10th floor (pulled number out of thin air, but assuming a roughly flat contact, and human not falling like a diver reducing the direct load o spine(by crushing their arms))
Happens in real life, too:
