Actually, if you look at the third image during the fall, there's a sudden appearance of several leaves (that aren't anywhere to be seen elsewhere). What I read that as, is her falling into a tree limb or bush, which could significantly reduce her downwards velocity, which would have a direct correlation to her chance of serious injury. I must admit, though, it does look like she whacked herself right against a rocky outcropping... which, after a one-story-fall, would be pretty dang painful, particularly considering she had a second story to go.
Guessing Jeph will give us some kind of "how she 'knew' the fall was safe" explanation tonight...
Sorflakne:
I loved catching snakes as a kid, but even I never took a flying leap off a cliff after one.
pwhodges:
As another explanation or way of viewing it, it seems to me that the height of the cliff may be not actually representative, but stretched out vertically to accommodate the multiple images of the stages of the fall (and fill the panel).

Who doesn't?

Thank you. I hate it when people don't understand this, haha.
Also, I agree with pwhodges. Until I read the wcdt I just thought everyone would come to that conclusion, that the cliff wasn't as high as it was drawn in the comic, but that was simply the best way to draw it to convey what Jeph wanted to get across.
