Did you muck with any of the worldgen settings for caverns?

[zarmazarma]

You hit the warthog with such force that the severed pieces defied the conventionally accepted theory of relativity, accelerating beyond the speed of light and traveling backwards in time so quick they hit you yesterday. That's when you flew off the cliff. 

[Cheshire Cat]

I guess you fell off a tall cliff as you dodge an attack. falling also counts as slamming into an obstacle, right?

I once flung a migrant off a bridge. He collided with the brook cliff and died.
A year later, my legendary engraver engraved him colliding with an obstacle and dying.

way way back i used to drop animals and prisoners through a big hole that went right through my fort, dining room included. got tonnes of engravings of animals and goblins screaming as they fell or collided with obstacles. also the limbs and heads used to bounce up and get all over the dining room and in the nobles quarters. from distant memory there is a specific engraving for falling, and one for colliding with an obstacle and dying. the falling one often includes lines about being huddled in a foetal position, crying or screaming.

He sliced the warthog with such force you were blinded and couldn't read the whole thread.

Anyway, I'm going to go with the collapsing map theory.  Were you able to see the area when it happened?

I was just proposing another answer to the question .

You lose hold of the pig tail fiber sock.

There was so much force, it litterally knocked your socks off...

I think it was a one-off glitch in the code that suddenly added a few zeros to your velocity vector: essentially you just experianced what quantum physics says can happen to any one of us in real life at any time, but with like 10^(-10^(10^(10^(1,000,000,000))))% odds.

So, congratulations!  You just had the death of a lifetime!!!

you stepped on a lemure.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Oh, no! You lost your socks!
Seriously, that is...strange. I like the idea that you killed it so hard it exploded, and hit you hard enough that you exploded...and that there was a chain reaction killing all creatures in a one-mile radius.

[Eric Blank]

One mile radius? This is dwarf fortress we're talking about; if a chain reaction ever occurs, it's going to envelope the entire world.

[Earthquake Damage]

One mile radius? This is dwarf fortress we're talking about; if a chain reaction ever occurs, it's going to envelope the entire world a rectangular region with sides of length 48n tiles, where n is an integer from 1 to 16.

Fixed.

[Arkenstone]

you stepped on a lemure.

No, you steped on THE GNOME!!!

He hath his vengance...

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!

Fixed

[Arkenstone]

One mile radius? This is dwarf fortress we're talking about; if a chain reaction ever occurs, it's going to envelope the entire world.

And since this is Dwarf Fortress, it will take a thousand real-life years to do so.

[antymattar]

It's a symple glich really. You were travellling when you stopped right above a deep pit and fell.

It always happens when you drive while sleeping.
