Bug #19402
Exploding Struts and Wheel Damage when Docking/Undocking
100%
Description
Another example of a bug that I believe came along with the change to the new Unity engine in 1.4. Again, the parts are very prone to exploding and/or taking damage now where in prior versions it was not a problem. Similar to my other bug report related to parts getting damaged when exiting Mk3 Cargo Bay doors.
In this case, if you dock/undock with a vehicle on the ground...
1) Landing Struts in contact with the ground tend to explode
2) Wheels in contact with the ground will take damage
The dock/undock can be triggered with any associated parts: Docking Ports, Claw Grabbing Unit, even entereing/leavig the External Command Chair
In this example video, I have a very simple craft with an External Command Chair.

You'll notice as I enter and leave the command chair, the struts in contact with the ground instantly explode, and the large wheels progressively take damage until eventually all 6 are destroyed down to the rims.
The example craft file in the video is provided as an attached file.

Updated by Can also confirm this bug for wheels from Making History. On docking they immediately explode having just a slight amount of load on them, and they break any time kerbals try to board/disembark from a seat. It seems like all the wheels susceptible to this bug in one way or another.
