Prefered Death

[Blues]

What about while falling you get shot? =o

[Mr. Domino]

Actually, it's easy to die from falling. In Paris, people commit suicide by jumping into the Seine. They die upon impact with the water.

I think he meant dying from the fall. As you note, the impact kills -- not the free fall itself. 

Falling can kill you, though, if you were to fall into the Earth's atmosphere and burn up. I guess it would also be possible to fall at such a speed where the pressure would rupture something internally.

And then you'd die from internal rupturing, not falling. That's like going back to my original statement, arguing that you die from hitting the ground (or the water), rather than from the falling. It's not the falling that kills you, but something that happens as a result of the falling.

Well, most deaths are like that, having some secondary characteristic that kills. The bullet from a shot doesn't kill, it's the loss of blood or punctured organs and whatnot that'll do it. You don't die from water by drowning, but rather the loss of oxygen. Being eaten would either be from the loss of blood due to missing limbs and puncture wounds, from having your body deprived of oxygen, or possibly just being dissolved in stomach acids if those don't do it first.

I was thinking the same thing, and I wasn't being totally serious, you know.

Falling, so long as I land on someone I don't like and crush them 

Also, failing that I'd like to be eaten (only one vote allowed  ), and I'd like them to choke on my corpse

This thread is old... back in 2006.

Anyway, if I MUST choose... here's something pretty dramatic:

I would feel tired as I walk along a corridor, feeling really sleepy, eyes are heavy. The next thing that happens, I would collapse onto the ground (but feel no pain, only feel like I just landed on a soft mattress), eyes begin to close and my vision blur and fade away. My senses would slowly shut down, and eventually, I feel like I was sleeping.

I am dead. What is left of me, is a cold, dead body, lying on the ground.

Jesus christ, you revive an ancient (albeit awesome) thread just to spam it up with an excerpt from one of your emo livejournal postings.

On-topic edit: I'd prefer suicide. I'm never getting old.

Welcome to the Emo generation.

Back on topic: If you want something simpler than what I posted, I think I'd just die from a sudden, one-shot heart attack (attack once, die instantly after that).

Wow, apparently no one wants to be eaten.

[Exodus]

I would, but I only decided after I voted 

[Dairy]

Drown.

I wouldn't feel any pain.

[Exodus]

What if it was sewer water 

And drowning doesn't hurt? - I would have guessed that you'd "pop" your lungs

[pavliko]

frozing to death is for me...
and com"on bleeding to death ? thats boring...

[Captain Ben]

drug cocktail overdose

[BondJamesBond]

I hope someone shoots me and eats me.

Drowning doesn't hurt, you just struggle the first minute or so, then you realize you're about to die, then it just feels like you're really sleepy and you'll slowly shut down yourself.

[Exodus]

I see you've drowned before 

[pavliko]

hmmm ....im the only one whos preferring to froze to death

Opiate overdose. You'll love it.
