I noticed that some people get killed in Minecraft because they "hit the ground too hard", but what is the difference between it and "fell too high"?

"Hit the ground too hard" is the death message used when a player is killed by a fall less than 5 blocks, ender pearl damage, or by falling while riding an entity that died due to fall damage (e.g., if the player rides a pig off a cliff and dies). "Fell too high" is used when a player is killed by a fall greater than 5 blocks. Source
