			Especially if your rear commander was kneeling on it performing long range bombardment? ... then again, you'd be ok as long as no one moved and set it off... hmmm... worse case scenario is that you decide to retreat from the battlefield and as your troops start to pile into the skyranger... then again, equipment pile is on level 2, so it should only kill the 1 trooper who was climbing the stairs... hmmm...
			How about when non-explosives detonate?

			Due to the odd behaviour of the 20 Armed Proximity Mine flags that govern whether a proximity mine is live or otherwise, a mine that gets destroyed will not clear their armed flag. This has the possibility of passing the armed status onto another object during the battle.

			If this flag is not cleared, be extra wary as any item in the battlescape that is on the ground could explode on your approach, with the explosive force of the item's strength (where applicable).

Arrow Quivershaft: No prob; I consided that other link, but wasn't sure if it was vanity or helpfulness.
