jumps are also better designed now, xl lines are pretty much all built as step ups rather than kickers so even if you completely eat shit off a 60 foot jump you aren't actually falling that far vertically. it still fucking hurts and you can break yourself hard but you are much more likely to walk away. dudes are also wearing armor now like bmxers
