Save kerbals by jumping out above ocean

[Wolfdog]

Hi. I've been saving my kerbals from dying by EVAing mid flight above oceans. They don't die on impact with the water. I feel like this is a bug and I'm exploiting it. Does anyone else do this?

No. And if you feel its exploiting, then simply don't? Its exactly the kind of ting I avoid doing in my games.

Kerbals can be pretty durable, but don't count on it, it's often down to luck.

And landing helmet first.

Yeah, I had to do this with a craft that wouldn't survive impact with the water. Luckily there were no tourists aboard.

Just be glad that it's not a earlier version. Then the water would be more dangerous than the solid ground.
