Drowning Trapped in a box/coffin This but I'll add while cave diving/spelunking. Getting wedged and can't get out. Fuck no! TC Yep, I've had nightmares about going through the ice and not finding the hole to get back out. I had a really bad screw up scuba diving one time. I had been certified for about 2 years, long enough to be pretty good at it but not long enough to develop good judgement. A guy had dropped a trolling motor into the water next to a dock, in about 6-8 feet of water. He offered me $100 if I'd drop in with my gear and pull it out. Sounded like a quick and easy $100. The motor had somehow gotten the prop hung up on something under the dock, so the dive started with an issue. Then I had to go under the dock to work it loose. My BC and wetsuit then got hung up on the deck screws and a couple of low hanging 2x4s. I couldn't move and was trapped under the dock. People were walking around on the dock, jerking me all over the place. I checked my pressure guage and saw I only had around 300 psi left. I finally took my gear off, ripped my BC, and backed out convinced I was going to die scuba diving in shallow water. What a dumbass I was. Piss poor planning, arrogance, no back up, no contingency plan. I'll never forget how afraid I was when I saw my gauge pressure. |

I've never been able to decide between; being burned alive and drowning.

Eaten alive by an animal. View Quote Reminds me of a story I read as a kid. Two guys hunting each other - mortal enemies . . . it's fairly dark, snowing hard, wind blowing and they end up within feet of each other when a tree next to them falls and traps both. Unable to move or free themselves they end up talking, eventually reconciling after a few hours in this predicament. A few shadows then appear not far away as the storm lets up. One hollers at them thinking it's some of their kin folk out looking for him. As the shadows turn and run toward them one asks who they are. The other simply says, "wolves". The story ended there - obviously. |

The reaper comes for us all. I intend to meet him on my terms, standing if possible.
No crying or whining; it's just a stage to the next chapter. |

Quoted: Drowning Trapped in a box/coffin View Quote I've heard over and over that drowning isn't as terrible as you would think after the first breath of water. But your second option has me rethinking my standard answer of fire. At least it would end in an excruciating matter of minutes. But fuck being trapped to death, crap. Just a constant state of panic and despair for days? Gah.. |

Being tossed into one of those shredders that they use to condense 55 gallon drums would be worse than a wood chipper. Just slow enough that you could keep on top of the blades for a while, the hopper walls too slick and steep to get out, . . . .

I'm torn between being on a hijacked plane that is being deliberately flown into the ground, being eaten alive by an animal, being tortured, or being married to my ex-wife. The fear and pain would be pretty high with them all. View Quote |

Yeah, piss on this thread. I'll worry about death when it comes.

Burning.
I remember the torso of 2nd degree that I got when my shirt caught fire as a kid. Burning is the worst. Drowning sounds bad as well, but not quite. |

Being grined down by a giant belt sander feet first upside down

On the way out is going to be a good thing. I am preparing for bloody, naked, screaming, the same way I got here :) Hopefully this way or don't wake up one day, I am cool with either one...

is there a good way to go when you can see it coming? You mind has to say "Oh Crap" at some point with the realization.

Hopelessly lost while cave diving just watching the psi drop with each breath.

Burned to death.
Drowning. Buried alive. Crushed. Anyway that you just cant breath and you know that you are gonna fade away and die without saying a word. |

When I was a FF it occurred to me that getting lost in a birning building and running out of air was pretty much at the top of my list. Not freaking out was the subject of many drills we ran.
The first time they did it was eye opening when we were dropped off with the low air alarm going off and our masks blacked out it a huge warehouse with the option of getting out before the alarm stopped (ie out of air) or being assumed dead. It wasn't fun when you realized what that would be like in real life. It has been years and I still remember it clear as day. |

The worst way to die...if you are completely aware of what is coming....would be to die unsaved.

Paralyzed with fugu fish poison and buried awake and alive. With poisonous snakes in the casket with you. And Nickelback playing on headphones you can't take off. This sounds like the worst episode of Columbo ever. I was going to say burning. But winner winner chicken dinner. I think I would take feet first into a wood chipper over this. |

that story of the farmer and his kids all dying trying to save one kid that fell into the septic tank or field? one after the other as they each tried to save each other from drowning and failed.

Wikipedia on what the Indians did to captives in years past:
Those men and women [2] who were not adopted, as well as teenage boys,[3] would face death by ritual torture. The torture had strong sacrificial overtones, usually to the sun.[4] Captives, especially warriors, were expected to show extreme self-control and composure during torture, singing "death songs", bragging of one's courage or deeds in battle, and otherwise showing defiance.[5] The torture was conducted publicly in the captors' village, and the entire population (including children) watched and participated.[6] Common torture techniques included burning the captive, which was done one hot coal at a time, rather than the Hollywood-style firewood pyres; cutting with knives, beatings with switches or sticks, and jabs from sharp sticks. Prisoners' fingernails were ripped out. Their fingers were broken, then twisted and yanked by children. Captives were made to eat pieces of their own flesh, and were scalped alive. To make the torture last longer, the Native Americans would revive captives with rest periods during which time they were given food and water. Tortures typically began on the lower limbs, then gradually spread to the arms, then the torso. The Native Americans spoke of "caressing" the prisoners gently at first, which meant that the initial tortures were designed to cause pain, but only minimal bodily harm. By these means, the execution of a captive, especially an adult male, could take several days and nights.[7] In contrast to the Eastern Woodlands tribes, peoples of the Northwest Coast (encompassing the coastal regions of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and southeastern Alaska), enslaved war captives. Slaves were traded and were a valuable commodity. More importantly, slaves were given as gifts during a potlatch ceremony to enhance the prestige of the gift giver. Slaves performed major economic roles in this region, and comprised a permanent social class and a significant proportion of the population. ] |
