Fall off a horse -> dust yourself off and get back on. There's a whole idiom about how falling off horses is a frustrating but ultimately minor inconvenience.

Fall off a gryphon -> you are dead.

There’s a whole idiom about how falling off horses is a frustrating but ultimately minor inconvenience.

There's also a whole list of people who have died falling off of horses. So there's that.

It is possible to die falling off a horse. It is nearly impossible to live falling off a flying mount.

My druid always carried a feather fall potion (fantasy parachute?) until contingent spells became available

The trick then is to always fly high enough to quaff a potion in case of falling
