Fall off a horse -> dust yourself off and get back on. There's a whole idiom about how falling off horses is a frustrating but ultimately minor inconvenience.
Fall off a gryphon -> you are dead.

12 0 ReplyMy druid always carried a feather fall potion (fantasy parachute?) until contingent spells became available

Most fantasy settings that allow for gryphon / dragon / other winged mode of transport, also have saddles for such beasts that tether the user to the saddle/ animal. If you fall off, you unclipped your harness and deserved it.

7 1 ReplySpeak for yourself, if i had the means to fly to work…
6 1 ReplyI've considered getting a paramotor for this reason. The only trouble is, it's quite a bit slower than driving.
