I was really unfortunate for this to happen...

But in Death Toll, I forgot which chapter, there's a way to die horribly and instantly due to messed up physics or something.

The spot is in the chapter that has the forklift horde attack. Where you have to turn on the forklift to lower the path, then it just crashes on the car, setting off a nearby car alarm.

I believe the spot is near the weapons (auto-shotgun, hunting rifle, ***ault rifle), between a cement roadblock and the front bumper of a van.

The way it happened was I was trying to jump over the roadblock, but instead I got caught in between the corner of the bumper and the roadblock. I was thinking, "Alright no big deal I jus-"

I died. With 83 health. Completely instant.

I'll see if I can't pull off this weird death again to make sure it wasn't just a one time occurrence... but a warning to you guys.

Edit: I tried a few times to kill myself the same way, but no avail. I think I might have jumped into it funny...

And also, it's not a van, but a taxi it looks more like.

Yeah, I've had this happen to me once or twice, albeit on two different Campaigns. It may have something to do with becoming stuck in between two objects, and the game glitches out, or either decides it fitting to crush you and drop you instantly.

I've gotta say, the first time it happened, it scared the hell out of me. I'd gotten myself stuck between a Car and a hard place ( Literally ). I'm spamming my Space Bar, etc., to try and free myself, and all of a sudden I get an ear-piercing death scream from Zoey. Not fun. It also ruined the Achievement I was gunning for.

Source is showing its age -- the physics were great for 2004 and are still pretty solid, until you push them just that little bit too far. The only update to them was the Orange Box source with pre-rendered physics for Episode 2, but beyond that, it's still an old Havok engine. :-/
