because of the way they train, their bones become stronger as well due to constant impact. just landing a bike repeatedly will build up bone mass. I wish I could find that discovery show about how MMA fighters train so their bodies can take breaking many blocks of ice or concrete. they even measured the forces that were involved, and equated them to car accidents.

This makes some sense, yes. Skaters and gymnasts also take a fair bit of impact, especially in practice.
