newtonian mechanics - Is there difference in force when the height increases?


Consider a man with mass 50kg.




  1. When he jumps from a 2 meter height, the total force is $F=ma$ ie (mass * gravity), but nothing happens to him.




  2. When he jumps from a 50 meter height, the total force is (mass * gravity ) same, but he dies.





Why is this happening?
