wow how did these little guys ever survive without us before they became a domesticated reptile lol. Not to take away from the above posters good advice but my dragon must be tough as a pine knot then. She runs and jumps all over the place.
You can use yourself as an example. You can fall from fairly tall heights and if you land correctly, do little damage to yourself. If you do happen to fall in an awkward manner or hit a vital organ while landing, especially against a weird corner, it can do enough damage to hurt, even kill.
Bearded dragons live 3-5 years in the wild, with predators and without hovering caretakers, but can live up to 10+ years in captivity with good care. Darwin has taken some flying leaps from 4+ feet, and while he was fine after each of them, I watched him very closely for broken bones or signs of injury after those failed flights.
