I have found that the faller can sometimes take damage, even when landing on another creature. I made a pit for disposing of caged creatures that was 30 levels tall (wanted to dump without worrying about armor). My dwarves were at the bottom clearing out the body parts and equipment while I was dumping trolls from the top. A troll landed directly on a dwarf, and both survived. The troll took serious injuries (punctured lung, broken legs) and would pass out frequently while trying to crawl into my fortress. The dwarf was similar. They both died shortly afterwards.

Since the troll is larger than the dwarf, perhaps fallers only survive unharmed if they land on something of equal size or larger? That would correlate with the kittens / badgers.
