Stopping Spawn Death

I'm not an all knowledge scripter like Nurgle or whoever else but I may have found out why people die when they enter the server.

As you do /login and hit enter, you spawn way up in the air.
If you lag a bit and begin to fall, and you are tele'd during this to your spawn where you're still 1ft off the ground due to the tele. The game still thinks your falling at a high speed, so you slam your ass on the ground with the 1ft gap and die. This is just my guess but I may have a solution.
-----
Instead of spawning way up in the air why not spawn out in the water so your not falling at all.
If my whole assumption is incorrect, well then I tried..

No one should be spawn killing in the first place. I think tmm or someone suggested that when you spawn you should have like a 3-5 second "god" mode where you cannot get damaged or move. I thought this idea would work and am not sure why it has not been implemented yet :(

In my experience, death on login only happens if you're a big impatient jerk who logs in before everything has finished loading. I recall hearing that death on login occurs because the ground hasn't loaded when you spawn, and that makes you fall to your death.

I always wait a good 1 minute ut it still does it sometimes.

If we were to spawn in the water and then sent to our spawn, we wouldn't die at all.

On a serious note, circumvention might include changing your default spawn location through the helpful command:
/spawnchange
for the interim.
