Non-Newtonian motion of corpses
From Doom Wiki
This article or section is a stub. Please help the Doom Wiki by adding to it.
In Doom, a player or monster killed by a weapon or by blast damage acquires momentum, which can result in certain kinds of counterintuitive motion. These include ascending staircases, sliding along high ledges at a uniform speed until they fall off, making the "oof" sound after falling off a ledge, and activating walkover linedef types (such as teleporters, crushers, and "trapdoor" exits).

- A demonstration, from Lee Killough's archive. REVENGE.WAD sets up a contrived situation in which a dead player can kill monsters and then exit the level, and REVENGE.LMP makes it happen.
