Okay, it seems I'm some kind of weirdness magnet

I attack a child.

This comes up.

You bash The Child in the head with your Iron mace!
It is smashed into the body, an unrecognizable mass!
The Child is propelled away by the force of the blow!
The Child slams into an obstacle!
The left lower leg is mangled!
The left upper arm is battered!
The left upper leg is battered!
The right lower arm is battered!
The right foot is battered!
The head is smashed into the body, an unrecognizable mass!
The lower body is broken!
The right hand is battered!
The head is smashed into the body, an unrecognizable mass!
The right lower leg is battered!
The right upper leg is battered!
Lide Tunulbengel, Child has been struck down.

What in the name of the lord...

[Tradanbattlan]

You smashed it THREE TIMES

[zchris13]

You reduced the head's hp so far into the negatives that it came out the other side, TWICE.

[Rakonas]

All Hail the three headed child! 'Tis a Christmas Miracle! Oh, yeah, it's dead. nevermind..

[kalida99]

Obviously it was an elven child!

[Sysice]

Obviously, it's half hydra.

...How would that even work?

[Julius Clonkus]

I am sure you'll find some more a lot a crapload of pitchblende in the area around or below the town.

i have had a three chested men
i think that the damage from obstacles is add to the attack so that it smashs the part in to a even bloodyer mass

It's possible that if the obstacle in question was on the tile adjacent to the child, the game checked for it flying backwards (as it presumably does each step), noted that there was a solid object directly behind it, and continued processing the damage, all without advancing step.

This is assuming, of course, that the game only checks the status of body parts at the very end of the combat "round", allowing for duplicates. If that's the case it might even be possible for you to hit a target, say, destroy a body part, watch the target fly back into an obstacle and take less damage from the impact (say, a mangulation), and then end up with the latter result at the end of the step. In the current version that's unlikely, though, as smashing anything into an obstacle seems to cause fatal damage whatever happens.

Sometimes, it does enough damage to be equivalent to three of those messages.
Hence, it displays the message three times.

They die immediately afterward in a majority of the cases anyway.

[Vester]

Either that or he hit the kid so hard he smashed reality and killed his counterparts in two other DF universes.

Quantum headsmashing created headcrabs.

Well, I did hack to make my adventurer so powerful, he could've fought God.

And won.

[GrafZeppelin]

I once managed to apparently tear off someone's right arm three times, and when I checked the surrounding area, the arm was apparently still on the corpse. It's probably just the game thinking that you smashed the kids head in because you dealt enough damage to do so, but not enough damage to actually do so.

[Footkerchief]

That sounds different.  When it says "It is torn," that means it's lightly damaged, not that it's torn away.
