Happened sometimes to me and my friends, that im on a ladder, and i want to go down, it just pushes me into the air and i die because it was too high.
Only once i survived because i was very high and it did the animation to grab the ladder, but just in time. I hit the ground at the exact second when it finished the animation, so yea lucky once.
Its so frustrating when i have so much gear and that happens. I think that happened 3 times at NE Airfield, when i was on the ACT.
