Fun Fact About Fall Damage and Impact (Destiny)

I don't believe there's a way to cheat this. When someone joins the raid fireteam, they spawn dead. If it's the final checkpoint, they spawn outside of the door. When my raid teams had someone disconnect and rejoin from orbit, we've had to intentionally wipe to get everyone back.

I don't think Sched was talking about doing it like that, he was just implying you could get TO Atheon and then everyone go to orbit and come back. Then (since it's on hard) you will all get the Flawless Raider achievement as long as you beat him. You could even go up to orbit as a party every time you wipe to make sure your deaths don't count. This way when you beat Atheon it'll show as 0 deaths in the activity summary screen, which from what I've heard is what it looks at to award the achievement, although I have no solid proof on it yet.
