If you fail the check then you don't reach the height in question and land on your feet where you started. IMO the phrase "land on your feat" would indicate that you didn't go up far enough to take damage, because of the falled check - it doesn't really say how far you go up with the failed check only with a successful one. Because the target DC is based on what you are attempting not on what happens with a check.If you are trying to do something else like jump up and hit a target at the peak of your jump then you are in into a different circumstance and I think I'd go with taking damage.  The example in the DMG (pg 303 under falling damage) comparing the difference between jumping down and falling down reflect a difference.</blockquote>
