Bug Description:

Drop damage does not seem to be affected by distance traveled, only by height itself (didn't play around with water. slide-physics and acrobatics perk; doesn't seem to be affected by slowing mid-air by stopping sprinting or crouching). Problem is - its counter-intuitive, but jumping from any heights actually lessens your impact damage. It easily can be the difference between a sprained leg and no debuff at all.

Fall damage probably has something to do with other factors, but this one is obvious and seems counter-intuitive.

Detailed steps to reproduce the bug:

drop from great height with and without jumping; notice how jumping actually is safer.
