Rats can survive that fall because their physiology is different from a human's. Faunus, being humans with animal traits, still technically have a human physiology, just with some extra bits as well. Thusly, they don't have any more of a rat's fall-surviving ability than a normal human being would possess.

Also, upwards-scaling with living beings isn't that linear.
