Yeah you're right, totally forget about that, but it still means that a fall from 10 meters would cost you your shields. Don't forget, either, that 10 meters is almost 31 feet. That'd be fatal, if not simply put you completely out of action, to almost anyone.
SPARTANs in full MK. V armor survived a fall from the upper atmosphere, albeit with some damage. Still, that's a good 15k fall. IMO, I think the shields actively adapt. The baseline projection level is the output that can take 11 MA5C bullets. In the case of falling, they can overcharge their shields/overpressurize the hydrostatic gel, and thus take a lot more punishment.Generally, a regular human can withstand a 50ft drop, but be on the borderline of living and dying.
SPARTANS with their augmentations can withstand higher jumps - in TFOR John looks down an elevator shaft and thinks "a thirty-metre plunge into darkness. His bones wouldn't break, but there'd be internal damage." So SPARTANS without MJOLNIR can take at minimum a near-100ft drop and still be able to walk or hobble away.
MJOLNIR is armoured so will take some impact out anyway, but will take out a very heavy factor due to its cushioning gel layer. I'd say that MJOLNIR minus shields could probably take a 100m+ fall before the SPARTAN inside became too wounded. Total guess, BTW.
