Yes exactly.
A simple exercise is to stand in your barefeet, now jump up and land on your heels.
You will feel all the shock come through your body, you may be able to do this a few times but it aint a lot of fun.
Now jump but land on the fatty pad (forefoot) I would guarantee that you could do this for at least 10 minutes.
Thats what we do when we run naturally, landing forefoot on the pad.
The link I posted to the Lee Saxby article really does explain about posture, technique etc. HERE
