I know what your thinking he channeld into a river well no I did not my stupid dorfs waded through the river.

Too bad it was right at a waterfall.                                      wwwwwwwwww

                                                                                       w ggggggggggggg
                                                                                   D  wgggggggggggggg
w=water
g=ground
D=my worhtless dorfs
I was left with one melacoly child and the migrants would just drown so I abandoned.
Is this the first time someone was killed by a river that had nothing to do with dodging channeling or freezing?

I've found that with the access ramps some dwarves will try to path through water. Normally it's through the shallow water 3/7ish which is normally fine but if it's just before a waterfall...

My first VDF fort was killed by a waterfall.

Upon embarking, the dwarfs set  up all the necessities for living. Farms, beds, stockpiles.

Then it started raining elf blood. My dwarfs  were covered in the ghastly fluid, and rushed one by one to the nearest water source to clean themselves. Sadly, that source was the ramp right next to a 8-z waterfall.

Because the new version fails to report deaths, it was only when I designated some trees to be cut that I noticed my woodcutter at the bottom of the falls, along with 3 other dwarfs.

2 more died before I restricted the area. Migrants came, but as they hadn't been properly briefed on the slippery rocks, all of them perished as well. I sat back in resignation as I watched my last dwarf dawdle his way over to the partially blocked off and restricted waterfall. He jumped off. Screen cut to black.

Game over.
