i did notice the sliding which seemed a bit silly, it would be better at least if the body had a bit of motion to it, but physics dictates that they would not simply slide along the floor just because there is a small incline. i did not notice them dissappear when watching them myself, but they did stop sliding for me, before they dissappeared

The sliding is happening because of lack of friction of Chernarus' surfaces. Developers have to introduced some friction for this to not happen.

if they wanted to introduce friction i believe they already have see my tracker here http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=13602

if this change isnt rubbing you up the wrong way i dont know what will. but please up vote it and visit the devs twitter in the mentioned issue. for the love of all that is right in dayz. lol for the kids man, do it for the kids...
