Yep…many have died. Many bases and maprooms have also been destroyed.
Oh course, it doesn’t help trying to catch them on your tongue - like a snowflake. 
Yes a player can die crushed by a meteor , happened to one of my clanmates once while he was looking for some star metal I kept looking at the event log and laughing

You haven’t lived until you have to use an explosive arrow to remove a meteor so you can get to your body. Bucket list check off. Good Times.
Ah just wait until you are roll playing sitting down at a table and BAM a meteor hits the place and takes out half of the people there. Seen it happen (I was one of the casualties).
I’ve had quite a few close calls, plus one time meteors started falling, while I was descending the narrow path down from Outcast’s Camp.
The second clip, my character with no clothes weapons or gear, was after an out of memory crash and dying while running against my own outpost’s palisade walls. While trying to find the deathloot at night, I drew agro from both a Ram and an Elk.
I have died sooooo many times this way that I have forgotten how devastating a death in this game could be… Totally. If you still wonder how I know this map so well? I may have died literally everywhere ![]()

. I know exactly where you must not die because regaining loot is hard. Exile lands have the courtesy of obelisks, it is very difficult to loose your loot, something must go really wrong. The most difficult thing when you die is to make the correct choises, but most of the time haste push us to act wrong and then temper goes high… At this moment your lost is certain most of the times.
It’s better to stop for 2 minutes and think the best option than rush to a risky one. Having more than one horse and a ready to go lvl 20 fighter in your house is the best option.
Spawn in your house, take a torch some hydrating food, a weapon and some potions, ask your lvl 20 to follow and a horse. The chances to gain your loot back now is 99,9999%. Estimated delay 5 minutes…
Chances to find your corpse 99,999%.
So, no rush
