You bend your knees on landing in order to prevent from breaking a bone. Your feet have arches that act as a shock absorber. But falling from great heights require something to slow down your body. As you land, you bend your knees and allow the muscles to slow down your speed. If not, your bone would take all the force and break. I hope that is your answer.

Why does a child bend his legs when jumping from a certain height?
Because our ancestors were arboreal, and we've retained enough of those instincts to intuitively know to lower our center of gravity when jumping down and flex our legs on landing to cushion the impact.
Why should you not jump off a trampoline?
When you use a trampoline, you keep your legs mostly straight, and the energy of your landing is absorbed by the trampoline. When you jump on the ground, you bend your legs and they absorb the energy of your landing. If you jump down after using the trampoline, you may forget to bend your legs, and do yourself serious harm
What is to bend your legs?

Why does a child bend his legs when jumps from a certain height?
There is a physics behind this act. If a child does not bend his legs, then he will get the instant trauma. By bending the legs fall is distributed over a longer period making it easier to bear. This is like a shock absorb-er of bike or car.

Why does a parachutist allows his leg to bend on the ground?
Bending the legs upon landing allows the parachutist to absorb the impact gradually, reducing the risk of injury. This helps distribute the force of the landing throughout the body more effectively. Straight legs could result in a more abrupt stop upon impact, increasing the chances of injury to the spine, legs, or hips.

Why can't giraffes bend their legs?
Giraffes can bend their legs. They bend their legs when they want to sit/lay down, to sleep.
Why do parachutists bend their legs and roll over while landing?
Paratroopers roll to dissipate the kinetic energy associated with the fall. As the ground is, for all intents and purposes, an immovable object, landing directly on your feet would bring you to an immediate stop, and as the body has no way to naturally counteract the energy which has nowhere to go, severe injury would be likely.
