The Alien glitch.
A worm surviving from the fall damage due to the alien glitch

The "Alien" glitch occurs when a worm horizontally hitting a wall at a nearly vertical angle steeper than 87.138° (slope=20) and a vertical speed past the fall damage threshold will stop and twang as if it hit the ground, but will then continue to fall. If the worm fell from a rope dismount, it will not lose control of its turn. Note that this glitch can save a worm from the death, because the glitch will cancel the Fall Damage.

W:A Beta versions since 3.6.28.0 log instances of the "alien" glitch (with the "Export Log" feature).
