Soyuz lands at 3m/s, which is equivalent to a 10km/h fender bender. With the crew strapped in an optimal position and suspended seats, its no worse than a hard landing in a airliner.

The seats and floor of the capsule are designed to collapse so that a 10m/s impact (which is what you get if you landed solely on the parachute) would still be survivable. If you get caught in a 30km/h car accident, properly braced and strapped in, you will be a bit shook up with a few bruises, but you will walk away alive.

Part of the rough landing might be that the capsule might jump and roll after landing. This is not dangerous but very unpleasant.
