We forget how to fall.
Also braking strength is a different skill than accelerating strength. A breakfall is braking strength. Most of adult life and most forms of training focus on accelerating strength.
Jumping into my truck bed was fine but I noticed I couldn't just jump down any more. BJJ and ballistic strength training like clubs and kettlebells made it so I can jump down again.
