Good point! Suppose I shouldn't try and be a physicist/engineer... Just seems strange to me that for example a 6m fall onto a 6m "static" dyneema sling would generate the same force as a 60cm fall on a 60cm sling. Guess that is due to other factors being involved in "real life" situations like the elasticity of your body etc (as patto has mentioned previously) reducing impact forces in small falls.
