Bending his legs increases the time over which the ground applies force, thus decreasing the force applied by the ground. Bending his legs allows him to push back up on the ground and negate some of the effects of the force applied by the ground. Bending his legs decreases the speed at which he hits the ground, thus decreasing the force applied by the ground. Bending his legs decreases his overall change in momentum, thus decreasing the force applied by the ground.
