High Tech gives DR 3 for the upper torso / shoulder pads, DR 6 for the helmets. In reality, neither of those can fully protect from neck injuries or blunt trauma.

Oh. Well, I guess that puts it on the level of a triple-critical (such as a Crit Success Slam roll, followed by a Crit Fail on the DX roll to avoid falling, followed by a Crit Fail on the HT roll to deal with the damage).
