I had 14% on food, but needed to fix the radio tower really quick. In case it's relevant, I was having burger hallucinations while up there. I reactivated the tower, started going down the ladder, then after few seconds of climbing down normally, I started falling. I tried to grab the ladder again but couldn't, and I died of fall damage. I wasn't moving my mouse, and didn't touch any button other than keeping S pressed to go down like usual.

Is it a hunger side effect, a bug, something else ?
