Say that to gravity when you start even 5m above the ground.

Gravity ain't shit. It's not the falling that kills you, it's the impact at the bottom. Which are electromagnetic forces.

Well the electromagnetic forces in your bones are no match for the accumulated energy of a few seconds of gravity.

The thing is, you need an entire planet to make falling hurt, and jumping is still easy. Meanwhile, if you have two tiny magnets they can pull on each other so strongly that you can never get them apart again.
