This only saves time in any%, and is used to skip Compactor Reactor. The route taken here is a little odd but it's supposed to avoid doubling back as well as end off in the right position to go for the dupe.
What's actually happening is when I destroy the last generator, Crash enters an uncontrollable exiting state before the game awards a crystal. As he's leaving the screen, he rams into a windmill on the ground which instantly kills him. It's extremely finnicky to set up, and often times you'll miss and exit the stage normally.
