It is due to resistive force applied by object
The resistive force of floor is higher then Sand
Or
In simple words the toughness of the object
One more thing is impact absorbed in sand is high then floor

Shubham1710: Nice explanation
Shubham1710: hows mine?

When we jump on a heap of sand the time taken by your body to come to rest is larger so the force applied is not much impulsive so it hurts less but when you jump from same height on floor time taken is less and the force is more impulsive and you get hurt

tnwramit1: but height is same then time must be same
tnwramit1: ya after hitting it may vary
Shubham1710: time to stop the object after hitting
tnwramit1: in sand it will penetrate but floor it can't
