Fall demage

[freemanthedoctor 1]

I think this fall demage gizmo is very anoying. Few times i've got good equipment such as weapons and ammo and then I just jumped from 4 meter height, I died. Think about it. That wouldn't kill anybody! I found this article on Wikipedia (for some statistic statements): "Overall, the height at which 50% of children die from a fall is between four and five storey heights (around 40 to 50 feet or 12 to 15 metres) above the ground." ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_(accident) ). In DayZ you're not a child, you should stand more. I know it's only a suggestion. But improving it will help many people a lot.

The way physics works in DayZ/ArmA though, and the lack of animation without ragdoll, means that falling 30 feet without dying just looks silly. Just saying.

4 meters is pretty high with gear and a bad fall, just saying.

Kids are "softer" than adults. That's why they don't die falling from big heights.

 

It's actually true. Our bone®s get harder as we grow older. The harder they are, the easier they break. Especially with a lot of heavy gear on your back.
