Skyrim Player Accidentally Rides on a Dragonfly and Pays for It With Their Life

Apparently, this incident occurred because insects in Skyrim have hitboxes, which can lead to hilarious encounters with players and other in-game items. Reportedly, bees also have hitboxes, which has led to some issues with carriages running into individual bees and causing their programming to get confused.
Many fans find this video hilarious. A
