I had it happen to a wrestler. Probably was thrown. The save thing is interesting though, I'll have to check into that. If we've found the cause, Toady might be able to knock this bug out for the next version which would be awesome. I lost a champion to this once, he was just hovering in my barracks for years.

I haven't had this happen to me, yet, but yea I hear all the time that it happens when the game saves right when something is in midair.

The best way to test this is likely with a drop chute so that you can actually catch the critter falling.

No idea if the autosave (seasonal or annual) or the manual is what does it or both.

Toady was asking for a save file in that other thread that Captain posted.  I'd suggest sending him a copy so he can have a look at it.
