I had another kind of problem but the solution can work for you as well. ALT+F4 then start the game and pick "continue". No, it is not a troll reply. It happened to me to jump over a gap (damaged bridge) and drawn, the automatically continue placed me 1 step close to the safe spot right above the water. I couldn't even call the menu to load the game, it was just a loop of re-spawn / quick fall / drawn. ALT+F4 and restart was the only option to resume the game.
ah yeah had that happen to me earlier too but I think it was in that place in Arlathan where they fixed it in the most recent update
