Surviving injuries from falling
The UIAA (climbing standards body) disagrees with you. The specs of climbing ropes are set by them to result in no injury in worst case falls. And plenty of people have taken factor 2 falls with no ill effect.

And industrial fall arrest literature disagrees with the UIAA. A 4kN loading will break your spine in the correct orientation.
