we know that by increasing stopping time we can reduce force

when we fall on sandy track we don't get more hurt as sandy track increases stopping time . so we experience less force

we get hurt by calling on concrete floor as it doesn't increase or decrease stopping time , so according to Newton's 3 Rd law every action and equal opposite reaction . with how much force we are falling on ground same fore will be experienced by us . so we get hurt

this is due to the secondlaw of motion that is the rate of change in momentum.
So,a person is made to fall on a sandy track jst to increase time of the person's fall .This decreases the rate of change of momentum and hence the force.But in the case of a concrete road the time cannot be increased and thus the rate of change in momentum increases and can cause severe injuries. That's why athletes are made to fall on a sandy or cushioned track
