luke the answer to 75% of your questions is the force. jedi can do things using the force.

but falling from a ridiculous height like that and stopping yourself without any slack....
what can the force do?
jedis cant fly can they?

oh no!
*recalls memory of seeing Neo fly for the first time**

Jedi's cannot fly obviously, but they can slow their descent when needed. Mace Windu falling from the balcony or even the book Courtship of Princess Leia (a book written before Episode 1) has Luke descending after his ship is destroyed on Dathomir, meters and meters into the air. So I would say it would be very easy for Obi-Wan not to rip his hand.
