question about falls from a height

[Frxwins]

I have a question regarding the durability calculation, there are characters who fall from a height and then after falling form a crater

Which of these should we calculate? Is it the potential energy, the impact that can form a crater or do we calculate both and then add them?

Depends. Normally, GPE is enough, but if there is a crater that eclipses the GPE, use that instead.

what if it's like this? he made a hole by falling from a height

Do maths for both. Whichever one gives the higher energy yield would take the highest priority.
