Arboreal Ts and falling?

Is the danger involved in falling the same for arboreals as it is for terrestrials? These live at high altitudes, and I've read they're even capable of "gliding" to some degree. Is it still really dangerous for them to fall?

With any T I think it is dangerous for them to fall, no matter what species. But arboreal T's have a lighter built and longer legs this gives them great agility and almost protects them from a fall. Plus they differ from habitats not all arboreal species are tree dwellers some like in tall grasses or bushes.
