This is a disengenous comparison.
The overwhelming majority of people who fall from 30ft do not attempt to decelerate in the last second or so.
People who text their way into stopped traffic notwithstanding, 30mph is the kind of collision speed you see on roads where traffic moves low highway speeds. Edge cases notwithstanding (i.e. someone barreling through a red or whatever) collisions on roads where traffic moves 30-40 typically happen at speeds 10-20mph below that because people generally brake but too late to prevent a crash.
