How does our body absorb the force from falling? And if we roll or bend our knees while landing why is the force felt by our body less?
Can somebody explain?

When we fall, our body uses a combination of bones, muscles, and connective tissue to absorb the impact. Our bones act as shock absorbers, while our muscles and connective tissue work together to dissipate the force of the fall.
When we hit the ground after falling, our body goes through a series of reactions to absorb the impact. Our muscles contract to help dissipate the force, and our bones may bend or fracture to absorb the shock. Our connective tissue also helps to distribute the force throughout our body.
There are several ways to reduce the impact of a fall. One way is to strengthen our bones and muscles through exercise, which can help them better absorb force. Wearing protective gear, such as helmets and knee pads, can also reduce the impact of a fall. Additionally, learning proper falling techniques, such as rolling with the fall, can help distribute the force and prevent serious injuries.
The impact of a fall can be affected by various factors, including the height of the fall, the surface we are falling on, and our body's positioning during the fall. For example, falling from a greater height or onto a hard surface can result in a higher impact. Additionally, if we are able to control our body and land in a position that distributes the force, the impact can be reduced.
As we age, our bones become more brittle and our muscles may weaken, making it more difficult for our body to absorb the impact of a fall. This is why it is important for older individuals to engage in regular exercise and wear protective gear to reduce the risk of serious injuries. Conversely, individuals who are in good physical condition may be better able to absorb the impact of a fall due to their stronger bones and muscles.
