How? It happened to me numerous times during my early years of Oddworld (when I played it at the age of 9 and died in nearly every new screen and needed my mum's help to finish the game).
Although it could just be that, as I said before, Elum is just reloading in a different spot to Abe. That could be it, but I distinctly remember Elum not regenerating in any screen after he had died a certain number of times (like Abe does in the PS1 demo of AO).

Another glitch to share! I'm not sure if this one has been mentioned before, though.
When you throw a rock/grenade/bones, the trajectory of the object can change slightly when you throw it in a certain direction. In other words, the object you are throwing misses what you threw it at even if it would normally hit it. For example, I was going through RuptureFarms 1 and threw the grenade and the last 3 land mines blocking the exit and the grenade just bounced in between the land mines and missed all of them! I would show footage but I can't pull it off consistantly. A better example is in Paramonia, when you throw a rock at the land mine on the other side of the first big jump. Yeah... I missed it 6 times!
