Most of the times they won't hop right back up, I think, but these educational videos about animals target children so it won't be such a good idea to show fucked up goats or other animals.

Imagine you are a animal videographer and have to film dozens of goats falling to their death just to get one which miraculously survived.

What's with lemmings trying to have me imagine bad stuff? 🙁

From a natural selection perspective I don't think many goats die by falling.

Correct, they die from the fatal effects of hitting the ground.

No, they die by being pushed off the cliff by a Golden Eagle.

I mean it's not the falling that gets them. It's the abrupt stop on the rocks below.
