I was rushing my way towards karanda and the popup appeared while i was drifting and then of course, it decided to do so just as i was at the edge of a cliff. I flew off the cliff like thelma and louise and thankfully my horse glitched and floated in the air but i fell, and fell and fell... SPLAT! I miraculously survived somehow. I don't know how because it was a very high cliff but i ended up so far away from karanda that i didn't make it on time.

Popups can kill, and I've died from it before.
