You don't throw yourself at the ground.

I can tell you that you do if you are stood on a ridge and you hear a
whooshing sound so you look round and a hang glider is just about to hit

'You don't throw yourself at the ground' was a general statement.

Everyone can see for themselves that it was nothing of the kind.
