Currently, I have the following items equipped:

• Lightning Boots
• Frog Flipper
• Cloud in a Bottle
• Blizzard in a Balloon
• Tiger Climbing Gear

With these accessories equipped, I can fall from 40 blocks high without taking damage.
But when on the Slime Mount, falling from the same height, I take 64 points of damage.
Without any accessory, this 40 blocks fall inflicts 141 points of damage.

As per the wiki, the Slime Mount bonuses should stack with the other fall damage prevention accessories.


EDIT / NB: The "Rocket" effect granted by the Lightning boots is unavailable when on the slime mount.

For starters, the wiki is not necessarily accurate.

Mounts often override/are not compatible with a number of movement accessories, particularly Boots that impact mobility. That appears to be the case here.

Also, when you say the Rocket Effect, you mean the extra flight time when wearing Rocket Boots? If so, that is intended. Most mounts do not stack with flight abilities. That has always been the case.

Yeah, this is what I meant. Thanks for the info
