I bet the force of the up, unexpected and all in a tenth of a second was
probably
more painful and possibly destructive as the drawn out force, and bracing
on the way down...

Bingo.

Mathematically show me.

It's not a math question. Let me ask you a question. Which do you think
would cause more damage to your lower back. Falling straight down in a
sitting position onto a floor with your body straight up and feet
straight out, no arms or legs to break the fall, hitting with a straight
spine, or hitting from the same height, half sideways with your hands
and feet hitting first to break the fall. Remember, I am asking
specifically, which fall would do more damage to the lower back???
