Ok - NO.  I just saw it again - and this time I can see where it came from. 
On the same map - 69pickup - a player comes up from the water - onto the 
pad - and jumps upwards - but the figure is still acting like it would if it 
was still in the water - that is - it is horizontal and as if still 
swimming - but as it goes through the air.  I put the crack pipe down some 
time ago - this is real.  How is this so?  Fault - or fix? - Cheers -
