No matter how high you fall from, you will NOT get hurt if you fall on a curved-roof hangar.

Just like in DAoC...You can jump off the roof of the tallest structure around...so long as you land in water, you're all good.

I like how you instantly slow with a parachute, so you can deploy it 20 feet from the ground and still survive.

I was trying to free fall holding 'e' and see if I can land in a vehicle. It didn't go well.

In this stunt map I have, I dove from a really high hill about half a mile onto a hangar, slid off and landed in the cockpit of a plane and survived

Actually, if there's no lag, you can hit the paracute *just* before ground, and survive.

The curved roof thing is interesting, though.

I tested it when Faz posted about it.

It works.

I then ran off of the hanger roof, fell ten feet, and died.

Gotta love those physics of BF.

Just like walking down a sloped hill to a not-as-steep area, you die.

Addy and I were driving around in a Humvee one time and Rosa parachuted on top of it.

You smell that? Do you smell that? ...Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory.

This one time in Market Garden, I got in a mustang and flew straight up then dove out, parachuted right before I hit the ground, picked up an anti-tank pack, and fired RIGHT at a german tank and it blew up

One time I was playing on Bocage with my brother and he was in a mustang and he flew down about 3 feet above a german tank and bombed it and it blew up and I shouted "SWOOP!"

Then I threw 3 grenades at a group of about 10 germans

One time on El Alamein I was axis, and parachuted out over the Apache spawn points, hoping to nab one. Some allied guy got it before me, but I landed right on the rotor assembly.

It was quite the wild ride, until I got bored, dropped an expack, and blew us straight to hell.

Imagine, being 300 feet in the air, and getting killed out of nowhere by an expack

still can, provided you are at full health.

I tested this one day as my bard. wanted to suicide out of DF, and was near Umbral hulks. So i ran back towards the crossroads, turned on bard speed 4, turned on sprint, and ran, ran, ran. I jumped.

I fell a LOOOOOOONG way. I took 99% damage

You can only die from fall damage if you aren't at full.

One time outside of Aegirhamn, I climbed up on one of those really tall ribcage-like bones and jumped off the top. One of my friends took a picture of me doing it, too.

I'm slowly perfecting the art of flying to the maximum allowed height, ejecting, and then catching up to and re-entering the plane. It's harder than it sounds.
