Twice I have experienced a strange character die situation while riding on a sparrow. I was leaving an area and transition into another when my character died for no apparent reason while riding a sparrow. The most recent incident occurred when I was going from Giant's Husk to Archon's Forge in the Plaguelands. I was coming up on the Servitor and Fallen Vandel/Dregs near the shoreline rocky knoll. The sky was darkening to indicate a public event, Fallen Walker, was coming in. As soon as the public event visual and sound cue completed my character lost all health and died while on the sparrow. The Fallen were shooting at me but were not hitting me.
This is the second time I observed this problem. I believe the other time this happened it occurred on Venus. I think I was transitioning from Isthar Cliffs to the VoG entrance area.

However, for me, it has never happened when a public event has been available, and has only happened to me in the Plaguelands. As OP said, you'll be riding along, minding your own business and out of nowhere - BANG. YOU'RE DEAD. There is no indicator on your screen as to what killed you, in fact, for me there is not even a HUD at all. Very weird, but happens very rarely, so it's not much of a pressing issue, just a slightly annoying one when it does occur.

When you die an indicator in the top right show's how you died, that will either be to an enemy or misadventure. In the case of misadventure it could be that you had bad timing and the public event landed on you!
