And this is unresolved.

I'd rather DR18 rigid, 16 of which is treated as flexible for Falls, resulting in Blunt Trauma Injury 3 points.
Then either:
your innate DR2 stops 2 points of the Blunt Trauma Injury;
or
it doesn't. B378: "Damage Resistance (DR) rates the degree of protection [snip] against damage." "Subtract DR from basic damage." B379: "injury due to blunt trauma. This is actual injury, not basic damage."
As innate DR2 will, in game terms, completely prevent 2 points damage from any source (sword, bullet, club, acid, fire) I'd prefer to use the former. Injury 1HP, and some non-game relevant bruising.
