Unusual death

[steelgrey]

While on another excursion to Minmus I took Bill Kerman off for a wander to the top of some nearby mountains. It was fun as the gravity let me travel far with little fuel used. Anyway I got to the top of the mountain and I decided to make Bill jump off the top and see how far he could float. As I was running I tried to time warp and I got a message saying I could not because the ship was under acceleration. This is odd as I didn't think Bill had a throttle, his pack was put away and he was just moving forward and jumping. Then I got the mission briefing up and it said Bill Kerman crashed into Minmus? I laughed because I have a quicksave just before the accident, but it still puzzled me and I wondered if it happens to anybody else at all.

Sounds to me like Bill tripped and fell into the ground at four times acceleration. That would hurt alot even at Minmus gravity!

sometimes when you make kerbals run across terrain under physics warp they'll randomly poof

Okay thanks for your replies, I will not use time warp when I'm out of the ship again. Am I right in saying the physics switch off when you time warp? I'm sure I heard it on a Youtube video.

there are 2 types of time warp. The regular one you use in orbit in which case the physics does shut off... and then there is physics warp which is used in atmosphere, on the ground, or activated with alt while throttled up. It only goes up to 4x and weird things can happen.

I remember EVA sliding along the surface of Minmus at a very high speed and when I warped, Bill exploded.

Uhm.... 2 of my Kerbals puffed into Oblivion when they tried to set a foot on Eeloo a week ago. Maybe this connected.
