When I did jujitsu we learned to fall. The important things are to tuck in your head, and to strike the ground—like, slap it as hard as you can with your hands—before your landing to reduce the force with which you hit.
As far as I remember, both Judo and Parkour (which are about from falling from higher than in JuiJitsu) both recommend rolling on impact (if you land right).

That’s when you fall forward, Alicorn was talking about falling backward
Judo also recommends slapping the ground—see e.g. this link
