I have had the exact same problem, where you have jumped into water and the character brakes his legs and it says you're dead but you really aren't and therefore I have been playing on hardcore server and it has been so annoying but today when i logged in to my regular account i respawned. I screamed. EDIT: I now know what caused it, all the servers were down so there were only experimental servers up and I succeeded in joining one, I will just have to wait and see if this will actually have fixed the proplem. So conclusion: try to trigger a bug that will reset or kill your character. :) EDIT: It worked! :)
