[Halo] Why was Master Chief cryogenically stored with his armor on? Wouldn't that be a terrible idea?

Comfort and Discomfort aside, wouldn't Spartan Armor be damaged if you Cryogenically froze it?

No. When Spartan-117 was defrosted on *The Pillar of Autumn*, his armor functioned perfectly. 

The reason his armor was left on during cryo freeze is that charging, equipping, and arming a Mjolnir suit is a time-consuming process. In the event of a Covenant attack, Spartan-117 would need to be quickly activated to defend the ship.
