Died while climbing a ladder. How?

[smoq2 221]

This weekend I was climbing a ladder in one of the tall apartment buildings in Chapaevsk when all of a sudden the screen turns black and the "You are dead!" sign greets me.

 

Now I was trying to deduct what could have happened before I post, but I cannot find any reason for it not being a bug:

 

1. The ladder is in a tight elevator shaft. I simply couldn't have been shot.

2. Didn't eat anything poisonous.

3. Was energized, hydrated and healthy.

4. All pristine clothing.

5. Last I checked, you cannot fall off a ladder once you go into the "climbing/descending" mode.

 

Was shot in the legs a couple of minutes before, but I wasn't even bleeding and already changed pants, so it shouldn't matter.

 

Can anyone shine some light on why I died climbing up the ladder?

ladders are the natural enemy of the survivor.

You should be careful around them

In this game and just about every game by BIS Ladders = Death/Broken legs.

Ladders have the best K:D ratio in game, think it's near 1,440,576:0 might be a bit higher. After a bit of play you'll figure out which ones are "safer" then others, also carry morphine or a splint some are happy to just break your legs.

idk maybe you got shot while climbing

Yeah, I learned already that ladders are the real reason for the human extinction in this game. Zombie outbreak just happened to be a coincidental occurrence. I just thought that death had to be an outcome of any instance of falling:

 

- Char starts running forward when you want to start climbing down and jumps off the ledge,

- Char reaches to top of the ladder and then falls down,

- Char lets go of the latter to fast (1-2 meters above ground) and falls down, dies or brakes legs,

 

I just never encountered a char die in mid-climb. And I don't mean fall and die. Just die. :)
