because when we fall we are acted upon by the gravity it increase our velocitythus our momentum so when we hit a hard surface we are stopped suddenly and a huge momentum is transferred to the ground in very less span of time but on the other hand when we hit a sandy surface our momentum gets a little more time to get transferred thus reducing the impact so that's why we are prone to get more injured when we hit a hard surface than a sandy suface
