I have to say I have thought of that as well. And it explains everything.

It would make complete sense, because If rathalos was about 2m long, he could fly very well. same with all the other monsters. This would make 'humans' about 30cm tall, which is small. If rathalos was only 20cm long then 'humans' would be very tiny indeed, which would explain everything. Small things are stronger, can survive large falls (ever seen an insect fall - they just bounce) and can survive larger impacts as well. Like with the ground. Small things also have a lower terminal velocity, so they con't be going as fast anyway.

Additoionally, this may explain why hunters eat so many steaks and hot/cold drinks. Small things need more food, a mice for example needs to eat its own weight in food ever day. Also, the cool drinks wear off so quicky as the hunter has a higher surface area/volume ratio.
