The kinetic energy death message was added in a recent beta, meaning players now receive damage upon hitting a wall. However, now flight is canceled when that happens.
What was expected
The player hits the wall, takes damage but the elytra stays activated
What happens
The player takes damage but flight is disabled. In creative mode, flight is kept but the leg breaking sound now plays repeatedly

In my opinion this is the most annoying bug because I can;t fly normally anymore. Elytra keeps being disabled.
Yes, that is really annoying. When I fly through the nether it annoyed me the most time. This caused me sometimes to fall into lava, but luckly I have a totem of undying and a good armor so I never died.
Confirmed for 1.16.1. In my case, this is causing the elytra to remain stuck on the ground after landing in Creative mode as shown in the attached photo.
