I thought it could have been a model issue - but I dont have any extra skins 
loaded - and so I would not see a different skin used by another player (it 
would default to sarge).  I think now that it was a 'warping' as the player 
was pushed from the pad beneath.  I have seen bodies (characters) do some 
wild things in this game..  lol.  Cheers tho -
