And you need to take into account Young's modulus of the human body and the speed of sound in soft tissue. It's more of a squish than a bang. I think you can ignore the compressibility of concrete for a first-order approximation.
Sadly, the Transport and Road Research Laboratory, the Motor Industry Research Association and the Institute of Aviation Medicine have plenty of models and real life data.
You won't reach terminal speed from 100m but you do need to correct for drag. E impact< mgh, depending on clothing and posture.
