Died on a Realm by hitting a wall while gliding with an elytra, and upon returning to place where I died, the contents of my inventory were on the floor, but the armor and elytra I had on plus the shield that was in my offhand were nowhere to be found.

It was netherite gear and I died in the middle of a tunnel down into a mine that I had made and double checked around, breaking blocks in the area and looking everywhere, so it certainly wasn't destroyed by anything like cactus. I can say with certainty that the armor and shield disappeared due to some sort of glitch, because every other item in my inventory was there on the floor.
I did die in a similar fashion later, though my armor dropped that time, so the glitch seems to be inconsistent.

Thank you for your report!

Over a year later and this exact same thing has happened to me, to a T. Playing on a realms server building an elytra course underground and I got theย 'experienced kinetic energy' death in a cave. When I went back to the area, all of my items were there EXCEPT what I had equipped, specifically, an elytra, helmet, leggings and boots. // minecraft bedrock 1.20.12
Are you sure that the armor didnโt fall somewhere? Was there anything like a cactus or lava that was nearby that couldโve destroyed the armor?
