You’re not wrong but there is one thing: hitting the ground is an instantaneous impact with a hard surface. Being swooped in some direction is a relatively slower process - the swooper is softer than concrete, and the change in velocity is spread over a longer period of time (even if it’s still “instantaneous” to the casual observer, it can be an “instant” 100 times longer than ground impact).
It’s like landing on a mattress vs a hard floor - from a high enough height both are deadly, but I’d still pick the mattress.

You ever ran into someone before?
Flesh is still a lot softer than concrete
Unless it’s Superman.
Yeah, he’s a man of steel
With balls of steel
So is water but it’ll still kill you if you’re falling at terminal velocity.
Until you hit the bones

Are we talking superman bones or regular bones? Because I don’t think super man bones will break.
