They'd collapse under their own weight, or simply fall flat on his back and end up screwed like an upturned turtle.

...Uh, the Iron Man armors are powered armors, which means that they're basically wearable robots. The wearers don't bear the weight of the suit, the suit bears the weight of the protective armor and the wearer. Even if the armor was completely depowered, it would not weigh on the wearer; the armor would just sit there with the wearer contained inside safely, with no pressure on the wearer. It's not that unbelievable that we could develop armor that, similar to Iron Man armor, is very strong despite the servos and motors not only having to compensate for and overcome the weight of the armor, but also amplify the wearer's strength beyond that. The armor's ability to move about is far from the least realistic thing about those armors.
