Just like in the Matrix, they jump between skyscrapers and get pushed through concrete walls with zero injury - but it's not real, so it doesn't really bother.
Obviously, throgh a real guy at a stone wall, the wall won't break, his spine will

The Matrix isn't real.  The Jedi live in a world where they have more abilities than normal people.  Not the same thing.

Well, we could have this discussion if the Jedis were somehow extraordinarily invulnerable in the movies. I think Obi-Kenobi once fell on a metal plate, and they can generally jump from great heights (which isn't a giant stretch on suspension of disbelief), but that's it.

So they basically have SUPERNATURAL POWERS that make their bodies stronger, give them supernatural and fast reflexes (knowing where a bullet flies without seeing it), and make them able lifting objects.
I'd say the movies stay within these confines pretty well.
