I recently started up with the new fort with 34.11.  My design incorporates a lot of ramps, particularly in the central shaft.
Problem is, my dwarves keep on falling down the ramps and injuring themselves, without any form of apparent provocation.  Has anyone else noticed this sort of behavior?

your dwarves think that they can fly , but gravity showed them who is the master here !

Set a nice hospital and your doctors will NEVER get rusty.

I try to use ramps extensively in my fortress designs as well, and I cannot claim to have ever seen a dwarf injure itself on one without antagonistic aid.  Can you please describe your current design in more detail (or put up some pictures)?

If you've come up with something that can reliably cause minor injuries, you may have revolutionized dwarven healthcare practice!

Central shaft, where the injuries occur, is a 6 helix design (3x3 double helix inner ramps, 5x5 rounded quadruple helix outer ramps).  Injuries most often occur near the first 6-8 z levels.  At one point, I figured that it might have something to do with the pastures, which were situated near the spiral.  I moved the animals away, but that hasn't fixed the problem.

Most injuries generated require immobilization, and there are the occasional fatalities, particularly when wheelbarrows are involved.  I've tried throwing hatch covers over the openings, but it hasn't helped.
