It goes less far because it has less mass per resistance. The
resistance is the key factor as it is a nonlinear factor that goes up
causing the human body to basically max out at 163 mph falling but a
motorcycle (about the same cross-section) to max out around 300mph. In
the end, its all hand-waving. You have to come up with the hand-waving
for your universe. I would suggest checking out some of the books
written on Super-Hero physics for ways of doing that.
