robot feet near miss damages zombies?

Hi. As you all know this game is quite buggy. I try to figure out why, and what is glitched and what just seems glitched.

Obviously there is an issue with undamaged zombies dying off frequently.

Today it happened, but I'm wondering if there was a reason (usually theater shows that the game clearly glitched, brand-new fresh-popped zombies just drop dead with no reason as shown in theater as well as in the live game of course).

Today my unwounded zombie fell dead, but just before that, the robot foot almost squished him. This led me to wonder if a near-miss of a robot foot does damage to the zombie, which would explain todays buggy behavior. The game is quite obviously still glitched regarding unwounded zombies dying off, but it would explain this particular incident.

tl:dr version: do near-misses of robot feet damage the zombies?

Did the zombie fall over and do his Breakin' 2: Electric Bogaloo moves? I'm wondering if them just being knocked over inflicts damage.

I'm thinking it doesn't, but I can't be 100% sure. Just seems like a falling back animation like you get with the Thundergun if they're to far away.
