Description

To replicate: 3 Person Command pod. Please Launch Escape System on top.

RCS on. Launch. Make sure tip of LES part hits ground first.

Hits at 50m/s with zero effect. Safe landing. ("safe" lol)

Tried adding a jettisoned second stage for extra altitude. Hit ground at 150m/s from altitude of 1600m. Nobody died!

As long as you land on a bit of an angle (not straight into the ground) the LES does not get damaged.

This sounds like it may be a specific case of Bug #9695. Since #9695 is more general and higher priority, 9692 should probably be flagged as duplicate. Someone should confirm the bugs are related first though. Meanwhile, I'll make a reference to this one in 9695.
