The problem might be that he is going so fast down that he completely "misses" the ground and seems to fall right through. I have no idea how to fix this problem though, sorry :\

No, I only use Gravity.

So would velocity fix the problem?

Well, velocity is gravity, so I don't understand your problem...

Well, I couldn't upload it so I took a screenshot instead.

I think the falling speed is so high, that the sprite misses, and falls right through.

The way to limit the speed could be to add this script:

when gf clicked
forever
set [gravity v] to ((gravity) * (0.93))

Also, when you fall, using a "repeat until" block stops all of the other blocks in that script until the "repeat until" action is done. Maybe you could replace the section with the "if <key [w v] pressed?>" with

if <key [w v] pressed?>
switch to costume [up v]
set [gravity v] to (17)
change y by (15)
end
if <touching color [#F0D1B3]?>
set [gravity v] to (1)
change y by (gravity)
switch to costume [stand v]
else
switch to costume [up v]
change [gravity v] by (-1)
change y by (gravity)
end

I uploaded another screenshot of that as well. The sprite never falls back down, he just stays up.

Maybe this project can help you a bit    ...
It's a physics-engine with comments for better understanding the script-parts:
