I have a question to see if I either glitched or is working as intended.

In Rak Tika, we managed to pop the SS Rank there, Forgiven Rebellion. I was flying over it while relaying my Linkshells when suddenly somebody pulled it. When that happened, the screen faded to black, then I appear at the 1st Aetheryte dead! It took a while for someone to Rez me, but after, it took forever to get through all the stupid trees and rocks that get in the way of flying and totally missed getting credit as it died as I arrived.

Totally pissed off, I could not believe what just happened and wondered if it was glitched. I was the only this happened to. After doing some thinking, I began to wonder if I got killed while flying, instead of your body dropping down, that you appear dead at the closest Aetheryte. Has anybody died while flying and confirm what I believe happened or did I get glitched?
