Why are charr getting damage when they fall?
Because the cow part of you dictates it. Just be glad you can get back up when something tips you over.
…because it hurts their feet.
It’s because char are demon-cats. Notice how demon comes first. The cat part is relegated as secondary. And as we all know, demons don’t land on their paws when you push them off a cliff.
Besides, all char have a hidden charzooka and pistol somewhere on their body, that really messes up their balance. Kinda hard to land properly when your… “big gun” is pulling you around.
Oh for the love of little green tomatoes…
I hope you realize that cats can be injured/killed from falling. They may be a bit better at falling than other creatures, but they’re not invincible.
I swung a sword. I swung a sword again. I swung a sword again—-hey hey that’s great!
hahaha yeah lol, every time i see my charr falling flat from a high distance i remember that Madagascar line: "Don`t worry cats always land on their- FACES? what kind of cat are you?

Lol demoncats? You have either been playing the wrong game or watching too much anime.
So by that logic if you strap some buttered toast to a charr, will they spin forever?
I’m sure the Asuras have tried it.
When they make it a backpiece I’ll give it a shot…

While the GW2 charr isn’t actually a demon-cat, their artistic inspiration upon creation in GW1 was the idea of a demon-cat.
OP: The same reason the Norn don’t actually hit harder than any other race. “Game mechanics”. Game mechanics dictates that all races will have equal stats and racial abilities will be subpar but lore wise, all races aren’t equal in all things.
Charr are somewhat larger and heavier than a common housecat. landing on your feet is all very well when you only weigh a few Kilos. Doesn’t help so much when you’re THREE METERS TALL.

This is a good point. 3 meters tall and all meat. The ligers don’t look like they’d be to springy from high jumps.
Realistically the reason house cats can survive long falls is that they tend to position themselves for landing, and in that position their terminal velocity is low enough and their body flexible enough that suddenly [evenly] distributing the force of impact through them (as from landing on a flat surface) won’t necessarily shatter their skeleton and squash their internal organs all over the place. ‘Necessarily’ being a key word here. There’s no guarantee of survival, nor that survival doesn’t require immediate medical attention due to broken or ruptured things (also I’m guessing there’s a lot of concussion). Point being: they’re just lucky that being ready to land on all fours tends to preclude hurtling into pavement at invariably fatal speeds in their case.
IIRC there’s also a somewhat bizarre side-effect of this, in that because they need to properly position themselves, their survival rate actually goes up once a certain fall height is exceeded, though only by so much because terminal velocity is terminal(ish). I forget what that was now, but basically it’s the point at which they have enough time to roll over, become living furry parachutes, and relax.
