There is a 'Watch your Step' achievement for dying to a train. How about a 'Rods from God' achievement for those killed by drops from orbit?

This seems like it would be a frustrating achievement to get, since the landing points of drop pods are random within the starting area.

You can see the shadow coming.

If you're aiming for the achievement, you have plenty of time while the landing animation is playing - I managed to do this by accident by excitedly running to the landing point of my pod, mis-judging it, and getting squished. and if you're too slow, well, there's always exoskeleton legs.
