One thing I would like to ask though : When has falling damage been allowed to kill you?
[/ QUOTE ]
As far as i know it doesn't. I have knocked off many (no dirty thoughts please) and been victim to being knocked off but suffer no extra damage. You would think you would get extra damage for a forced fall but I haven't recieved anything. I think some thing must have got a finishing touch on you.

If you're suffering residual damage (chill from a freeze attack, on fire, any kind of DoT with a decent timer on it), the fall can reduce you to 1hp and the residual can finish you.
Well this is the scenario..
I was dueling a Science Brute on top of a building in Siren's Call. He struck me with what I think was a Haymaker (SuperStrength) [Double Axe-Handle animation]; I was hitting red health now so I leapt off the building and triggered fly. No effect. Switched to Jetpack. No effect. Smashed into the ground and died with no DoT's on me. The last combat damage I suffered was directly from falling.
The combat log is not always 100% accurate. 
I would suggest that what happened in this case was the blow itself killed you. If the conbat log listed falling damage last I imagine that due to a bug the falling damage was applied after you where already dead.
Remember that due to animation issues the health bar always lags behind your real status.
I really should do something about this signature.
You cannot die from a fall, it has to be DOT that gets you.

Its your fault
Its your computers fault
Its your ISPs fault
People who want to fight one on one in pvp zones just because there is no one around to beat on and they are just a bit bored, cannot expect to be taken seriously. If you want a serious one on one there is the arena. If you want 'honour' go there or work on a Klingon spaceship.

Bit of a generalisation your making there.
Why shouldnt people one on one in pvp zones? Sure there are going to be people who come and interrupt from time to time, but the majority will let the one on one alone when they know it is happening. And anyone who doesnt leave it alone? Well, then that when you forget the one on one and turn the tables 
I didn't say people shouldn't fight one on one in pvp zones, just that they shouldn't expect no one will interupt.

Fell through the air in normal animation and was able to activate powers so wasn't dead. No DoT's on me. I'm suspecting a bug...
It's not that people shouldn't fight 1 on 1, it is ultimatly their decision, hwoever if either one of them is the bounty, just don't expect it to be 1 V 1 anymore. =p
Its probable the double-hand overhead smash move wasnt actually haymaker, but "Air Superiority", meaning that all fly powers are ineffective for a while. That might explain the falling, at least.
Did you notice any signs of lag on the way down? You might have taken some kind of damage in during a lagspike, and the result is a glitch in the combat windows report..
When someone uses recall friend to TP you very high up above the Gulch in the hollows at a low level. But what does that have to do with 1 v 1s?
