I argue that since we never actually see the fall guy land, and that it is usually the landing (not the fall) that causes the pain, that the fall guy has not actually experienced anywhere near the pain being credited for.

Albeit I think they are suffering much more psychological pain, being almost perpetually falling, often with other potential threats right next to them. I imagine it must be traumatic to live through.

Thanks for attending my TED Talk.
