I know the rules call for this, but I have difficulty understanding why
Impact Armor aids in a fall. Generally, Impact armor is designed to
spread the force of impact in order to minimalize damage. In the case of
falling, the victim's entire body feels the force of impact, so how does
the armor aid in minimalizing damage?

I think this is a rule that Fasa dropped the ball on. Armor should
not aid a person falling.
