newtonian mechanics - Why doesn't Newton's third law mean a person bounces back to where they started when they hit the ground?



Why doesn't a person bounce back after falling down like a ball does? If we push a person and he falls down then why doesn't he come back to his initial position?


According to Newton's 3rd law of motion: To every action there is always an equal but opposite reaction. If we take the example of ball then it comes back with the same force as it falls down. But in the case of a human body, this law is not applicable. Why?
