Bit of speculation here: Heavy units are more likely to survive falls. Evidence for this includes Bogroll's survival of tackling Ansom off the tower, and Parson's minimal damage from crashing a dwagon into the courtyard. Now for the wild speculation! This hardiness, combined with the conflicting nerf of being unable to ride mounts, means that a unit on a flying mount will be forced in to a rough landing. They'll get banged up, but they WILL be on the ground again, wherever they are. Even if it's an enemy city. And it's not their turn. - No one in particular | Bit of speculation here: Heavy units are more likely to survive falls.

"Heavy units pop in ruins"
GK wasn't a ruin; it was a heavily damaged city with a low level. -- DevilDan
DevilDan: yes, but the page for the Ruins terrain type mentions that sometimes units pop there, often groups of heavies.
The bigger they are, the lighter they fall?
