According to MTV [photo by Eric Ford/On Location News], the reason Spock (Quinto) is wearing a goofy suit is because the stunt involves the character going into a volcano. Here’s a description of what was happening on set:

After first rehearsing the scene with a Spock’s stunt double actor, Zachary Quinto was then rigged to a wire in front of a large green screen and lifted to a height of 10 stories high then dropped at a high rate of speed as if he was falling. In the scene Spock is wearing a “Volcano Suit” and carrying an unknown piece of equipment with the Starfleet emblem. A volcano is somehow involved in this scene. The crew had a real fire burning off camera to catch the fire reflections on Spock’s “Volcano Suit”.

I’m glad the scene involves a volcano because otherwise Spock would just look silly wearing his Volcano Suit. Volcano Suit Spock is going to make a great action figure.
