I’d thought of this, too.
Since pegasi apperntly needed magic to fly and walk on/control/‘connect’ clouds, when magic died, wherever it was that Cloudsdale was floating over is probably now a mass pegasus grave from the likely cataclysmic event of it splitting its self apart, the pegasi suddenly dropping out of the sky and through the clouds they were standing on.
Depending on how much of the pegasus population was in Cloudsdale, they may’ve lost the majority % of their population.

Kind of curious. Are we sure this isn’t an alternate reality where Cozy Glows plan succeeded? And Pegasus lost their ability to fly after the third day.

I doubt it was just instantly gone like she is saying. It was likely more gradual but since it happened so long ago, noone really remembers it disappearing. It’s just there was a time when they had magic, now they don’t and noone knows why.
For the pegasi, I imagine it would be finding they couldn’t fly as much or as high as they used to and this continuing until they couldn’t get off the ground at all.

I think they could still glide mostly safely to the ground as we saw Zipp doing with the fan turbine.
Plus pegasi are very light weight comparatively.

Given what we saw Zipp able to do, it looks like they could still slow and control their fall enough to land mostly safely. I imagine that at most there were a some sprains, and maybe a few broken bones. Then again, ponies are tough, based on the drop that factory worker suffered.
The worst cases would be the ones like RD who were in the habit of napping in low clouds. That doesn’t give much time to wake up and adjust.

We don’t know how long ago the magic disappeared; it could’ve been a thousand years ago. The Pegasi probably have a legend about “The Day of the Great Falling” that they don’t speak of except in hushed tones.
Izzy mentioned the Unicorns suspected the Pegasi of stealing their magic. It’s a good bet the Pegasi blamed their loss of flight on the Unicorns or Earth ponies (“vile ground-pounders jealous of our wings!”)

I swear I read a fanfic where pegasi were mysteriously losing flight, and it ended with Fluttershy’s parents being missing or something like that.

If Spout was born then, he’d feel a disturbance in the Rainbow, as if hundreds of chances to say “Hey, babe, did it hurt when you fell out of Heaven?” were missed.
They have wings, and could presumably glide just enough to make safe landings in pools, ponds, big tier wedding cakes, manure carts, mud, etc. Perhaps the Queen had an embarrassing and very un-classy story of which one she landed in.
