This small handful of instances (and I will readily admit that I have not thoroughly examined them) are, IMO, definitively superceded by the many instances in which far more pedestrian things have killed walkers.In real life, after falling from such a height, the brain and skull of humans are damaged.
At best we are dealing with situations in which the writers did not approach a certain scenario with the level of accuracy and specificity that we do. Such as when Michonne killed a guy standing like 30 feet from her with a rocket launcher (lol, btw) and she herself was unharmed despite turning the guy into mist IIRC (been a while, so the details could be wrong). The best conclusion from that scenario is not to look up the rocket launcher used, determine the effective range of the rockets, and (potentially) conclude that the only way Michonne could've walked away unscathed is if she had superhuman durability. It is to conclude that the writers just didn't take that into account.
In a series like this where we are smacked over the head with the human limitations of the characters (and the walkers) on a routine basis for 11 seasons (or more if you count the spin offs) I just can't cosign anything else, personally, even if you can "calc" that brain destruction should've occurred from such a fall.
