There are 2 ways I know of that this can happen:

  1. You were driving when the server crashed, which can sometimes kill your character. Unpreventable at the moment as far as I know, short of not driving.
  1. You joined a new server too quickly after the crash. Whenever a server crashes, wait 1-2 minutes before joining a new server, else you risk losing your character. IT is due to the crashed server not being able to update the central hive, so the hive doesn't know what's up with the character and spawns you a new one. If you wait a bit, the hive is updated and everything is good to go.
