Possible bug or hacker?

[kragz 156]

My best game yet... I got to Castle Zub which was barbed at the entrance. As I tried to vault over my I died, I noticed the leg break and the other symbol that looks like that (what does that mean btw?) Almost instantly after thinking "what the hell? barbed wire can kill you?" I noticed everybody on the server was dying in rapid succession. Everybody on the death screen was crying hacker - has this happened to anybody else before?

I did find it suspicious as it happened mid vault over barbed wire...

It means that if you disconnect with it on your screen, when you connect to another server you will unconscious for 3 minutes.

I've had a hacker somehow kill everyone on the server or send a nuke into my area. Barbed wire can injure you from past experience too.

The symbol you're talking about is "shock" which, as the guy said above, makes you unconscious if you log out whilst it's active. It's triggered from things like being shot at, falling a height or otherwise putting your character through a "stressful" situation.
