I have a friend through Karate (he's my age, 18/19) who went to boy scout camp a couple years ago and was screwing around with some friends. They were free-climbing a cliff. He fell from around 40 feet up. He broke many of the bones in the left side of his body, but a few months later he was fine. He actually owes his life to knowing how to fall correctly. If that ain't a reason to pick up a martial art that trains falling... (Or you could have common sense. Either way.)
