This article has someone landing at 75-80 mph on to a rock surface.

There are a lot of fractures, but the bones are not shattered (there are x-rays in the article). That an extra 20-25 mph should turn an impact from survivable to the person being mush seems unlikely. Sure the survival in this case is exceptional, but there is quite a lot of difference between being dead and the remains not being recognisably human.
