Holding Flag while Dead?

I was playing a casual CTF game when the game ended. While it was showing the scores, I was killed and falling in space (on Impact). However, I was still holding the flag. Is this a glitch or special move that I’m not aware of?

it’s a glitch

the flag is technically your weapon, and once in a while, when players die, they hold their weapons for a short time

That’s pretty odd and cool at the same time.
