The physics for characters when going from 3-6 foot objects, to the ground are messed up. If I go off of a 3 foot ledge, I should not break my legs and immediately be incapacitated. This should go for 6 ft ledges too. If you calculate height of the character at 6 feet, there is no reason why any bones should be broken if coming off a ledge. This was a big issue in ARMA 2/3, and now that you guys have branched off into your own development for DayZ, you should take an extremely hard look at this.

Steps To Reproduce
- Go to any ledge more than 4-5 ft in the air, but less than 6-7 in relation to your character (calculate Character at 6 ft).
- Slowly creep off (I did this in elektro)
- Your legs will break greater than 50% of the time, which is ridiculous.
Additional Information
I know you guys are swamped, and this is an alpha. But serious thought needs to be put into how the characters interact with their environment. As a "survivalist" in this game, I shouldnt hurt myself going off of a small ledge. At the least if I am crouched when I "fall off" of it, I should be able to take minimal damage. I know this is a simulator, and not an action game per se, but the physics in the ArmA engine are god awful when it comes to this stuff.
