I'm sure that once upon a time if you fell from a great height (e.g. a few hundred meters or so), in a damaged enabled parcel it would be sufficient to reduce your health to 0% (hence teleporting you home as killed).
However, just tried it, and no matter how far I fall (tried 4000m) it at worst reduces your health to 80% which seems a little unrealistic.
Have anyone else noticed this - or is it just me?

Or you sure it was SL or another platform/game like Doom 3? Edit, I use to build at 768mtr before deleting the platform I was building on and fell to the ground. I was never TP'ed home due to low health. |

Generally speaking, even on a damage-enabled parcel, just falling will only cause you to make a very undignified looking and sounding "Splat!". It pretty much takes some sort of weapon fire, or repeatedly falling from a great height, to "kill" you and force a TP home.

Where is the indicator to show you are low on health? In the menu bar just before the parcel name - but it only appears if you are on land where the safe option is not checked. Edit, I use to build at 768mtr bthen deleted the platform I was building on and fell to the ground. I was never TP'ed home due to low health. You were probably on land with damage disabled. see https://support.secondlife.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=4417 Matthew |

I cut my knee falling off a sky platform once but other times I've been unhurt. I don't fully understand the gravitational anomaly. In fact I don't understand it at all, but it works and it's kept me safe!

That's because the parcel didn't have damage enabled. If it had, you'd have seen a little heart icon in the parcel settings readout at the top of the screen. In the menu bar just before the parcel name - but it only appears if you are on land where the safe option is not checked. Honestly I have never seen that..... |

Matthew It used to work correctly, hence the sacrifices to G'al. Unfortunately, this was "fixed" some time ago and no longer works. Mari _____________________

The volcano on Ichelus Island is damage enabled.
If you hang around over the crater, you can get hit by the erupting blobs of lava. I've not managed to get killed, but I've got about halfways there. Ha! Puny volcano!!! The only thing to kill me so far in SL was Umnik Hax - and a number of times too! _____________________
