Speed is distance over time. It has a *linear* relationship to distance.
Gravity measures acceleration, the *increase* of speed. It has an *exponential* relationship to distance.

Every stair you take from the roof to the ground accepts a tiny bit of gravity's acceleration. But then it's controlled right away, before exponential growth lets your speed get too great to control.
When you reach the ground, you've traveled the same (vertical) distance...
