Exploding crates

Arrow trap triggers when spelunky is behind exploding crate.
Exploding crates dont explode when Spelunky lands on them.

As far as I'm aware, these aren't bugs.

Powered boxes are pushable, so pushing one towards the arrow trap will result in the trap detecting movement and firing the arrow. If they shoot you even without you pushing the box, then it's probably that the game considers the trap 'transparent' like webs are.

Powder boxes have metal plates on the top and bottom edges of them which means you can walk on top of them and push them along the ground safely without them blowing up. Items impacting the top and bottom of a powder box will still set it off though, even stuff like blood and fragments of pottery.

Yeah, they shoot without you pushing the box.

Thats the weird thing: drop of blood can set it off but a man landing on it after freefall can not.

When you trigger exploding crate with an arrow, the arrow does not break.
If you throw mouse at exploding crate using mittens, the mouse will stick to it.

Hilarious bug.
