A while ago I recorded (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLu2XrsUpIU) this YouTube video, showing what I thought to be the fastest way to die in SS2. Then I got a comment basically saying that there was a physics bug involving the non-hostile protocol droids in the training sims. It turns out that if you lean into them at the right angle while they are animating, you will be propelled across the room - sometimes fast enough to be fatal. I have not been able to reproduce this fast enough to beat the "Psi-overpower will make you go blind" method I linked, but I wondered if anyone else knew about this. I suppose I should ask in ThiefGen as well, but they scare me. I believe this may have use in speedruns as well as masochism.

I came across a similar bug in the Thief 2 demo level, where jumping on ropes would propel you in the opposite direction, sometimes fast enough to kill you splatted on a wall. Might be somehow related, SS2 and the thief 2 demo both came out in the same year.
