This bug has been since 1.16.200 i think
So if you use riptide trident upwards in mid air while falling it reduces the fall speed but doesnt reduces the fall damage
Even if you safely land using the trident it still gives the fall damage of the initial height
how to reproduce
Take a riptide 3 trident and fall from a very high height.
When close to the ground trident up and try to safely land.
observed results
The fall damage doesn't reduce even the falling speed is

taking fall damage before touching the ground with riptide trident

When you trident in the air while it raining you will build up the fall damage and when you land you take it all at once reolting in a intant kill sometimes i wount even hit the ground and ill still take fall damge.

Fall damage when using a riptide trident varies based on time in air instead of height.

As far as I know fall damage is based on the total distance fallen, not the speed at which you hit the ground. So I think this may be working as intended. However, there are other reports that sound similar to this one (MCPE-120695, MCPE-109846) that connect the issue to the fall damage bug(s) that began in 1.16.100.
Originally that was tracked at MCPE-105490 but since the reported fix for that was not effective we now have several separately-confirmed reports:
MCPE-109937
MCPE-120140
MCPE-120277
MCPE-122780
That being said, I am not sure how to test this particular report, because falling happens too fast for me to reliably use the trident at the right time to make sure I wouldn't take fatal fall damage even if the "exected result" occured. It would help to have a video of the bug happening.

I think it is MCPE-109846 specifically

Ok thanks, the video linked on that ticket is helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N3OeNncBcM
I was able to reproduce it after seeing the video.

I have just died on 1.20.80 from using a Riptide trident in survival around cloud height. My totem triggered in midair and I fell straight down. I don't have the clip, or I would attach it. This bug is still present on 1.20.80+.
