Most of the injuries are from hitting the water at the wrong angle or position.  If you hit it vertically with your toes pointed even from that height there is very little potential for injury (unless you are a guy and leave your legs open.....ouch!).  But from that height if you hit the water wrong you can be severely injured which is why I don't let my kids or their friends jump from the upper rock.  Your body accelerates at 32 feet per second per second so if it takes 2 seconds you are going 64 feet per second which is 44 miles per hour.  Water at that speed is very hard.  From the lower rock you never get fast enough to do anything more than bruise yourself.
