The glitch happens when the body is too big to fit in between and so the body hovers in the air between the two objects and looks like it's trying to swim.
In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', when bodies are propelled by explosions, they will sometimes appear to be "frozen" if they hit an object mid-flight; this can also make them appear to be swimming. On a related note, when a Jackal or a [[Grunt]] is killed by an explosion, its corpse may appear "wedged" within a metallic structure, floating above the floor.
 
==Note==
In [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], when bodies are flown up by means of explosions, they will appear sometimes frozen if they are hit against an object in flight and will appear to be swimming or floating in the air. Also sometimes when a Jackal or Grunt is killed by any kind of explosion its corpse will appear "wedged" within any metallic structure, but will still be seen to be floating.

Air Swimming is a phenomenon that occurs when an enemy is killed by a grenade explosion and their body gets stuck between two terrain objects. When the body is too large to fit in between the boxes, it ends up hovering above them, looking as though it were trying to swim through the air. The event occurs most commonly with Jackals.

In Halo: Combat Evolved, when bodies are propelled by explosions, they will sometimes appear to be "frozen" if they hit an object mid-flight; this can also make them appear to be swimming. On a related note, when a Jackal or a Grunt is killed by an explosion, its corpse may appear "wedged" within a metallic structure, floating above the floor.
