Hey ampolive! I helped Matt (who made the video) with testing this and understanding the decompiled code. As you mentioned, the easiest way to reproduce is using the summon command or placing a boat on a floating block and breaking it, without riding as a passenger. Vehicle mechanics when there’s a passenger seem to change things, but I could still cause player damage when riding the boat if it was dropped from 49 or 51 blocks - and then I moved forward a little on the ground or dismounted, depending on the version.
I haven’t tried in the latest snapshot but if nobody beats me (I’m sure they will!) I can try some of these variants and report back tomorrow.
