If that’s the case then yes, one of the worst ways.

Way back when I worked in my dad's mom-and-pop TV store, I often did TV service calls and deliveries to several of
our local convalescent homes. I will never forget what I witnessed. And in some ways, I thought iy was cruel. The noise. The smell of feces. The patients who had no idea where they were. The patients who "slept" constantly. The feeding tubes.

Why are we doing this?

So it seems to me that "instant" death is actually a blessing. My dad died of heart failure. Gone in 2 minutes. He was only 55, but at least he avoided his dread of going to a convalescent home.

Sorry for your loss. My mom died at 47. Heart attack, then 2 months later, a stroke. I was 17.

Ah crap, I'm sorry guys. I, too, unfortunately, know the misery of losing a parent too early, dad at 44 due to cancer.

There is a scene in Fargo that involves a wood chipper. Not a very good way to go and quite messy.

Spending too much time on a message board instead of outside enjoying life

Many moons ago, my DW worked for a few years with a local tree removal crew. One person on the crew used to jokingly tell his teenaged daughter's suitors that he would put them into his wood chipper FEET FIRST if they did anything to his daughter, so that they would "feel the tingling all the way up." Guess this qualifies for this thread subject.....

the worst one I know happened, was also part of a safety at work video. A guy crawled into an oven to fix something, it wasn't locked off, somehow it started and it was like a conveyor belt, enclosed, and once it started you could not get out or back out, they could not break the walls and literally had to wait for the guy to be cooked and roll out the other side, the heard his agonizing screams, until well they didn't

for me, I don't swim have a fear of heights, ships and deep sea.

Titanic would be one, jumping off the that from 2-3 stories in PITCH black, into ice water, and drowning, or hanging onto a wood and with massive waves,

[nazali]

this is a true story on me, since birth the following has happened to me

1> Electrocuted twice (240volts)
2> Downed a bottle of aspirin (when I was 6 or 7) (stomach pumped)
3> Drank paraffin, which was stored in in a pop bottle (hello fingers down my throat)
4> Run over by a car , broke leg, arm, shoulder
4a> while in hospital waiting in the ER, they brought a prisoner in from a local proson fopr some treatment, the guy went berserk breaking up the ER, broke a bottle grabbed a nurse and put the bottle to her throat. I was 1 foot away with a broken leg unable to move, a nurse ran in and pulled me out
5> fell down a hill, stitches in leg

Heart attack, survived a STEMI, aka widowmaker, 90% blocks
actually I had 2 heart attacks, 1st time I didnt know it was, the next week the pain wouldnt stop till the ER's were called and scrambled me to hospital

Whilst in hospital my EF was 10% (Ejection Fraction) I had yet another heart attack and they wanted to put a mechanical heart in me, as my odds of living were that low

Whilst have 2 stents put in for said angio, the blood thinners disagreed and I puked up blood, and had fluid in my lungs

if I was a cat I would have said I have4 lives left

I don't think I'm ever going to die

I don't know about worst ways to die, but though it looks bad, I really am trying not to experiment with various forms of death

Ya, I think this was the industrial accident I was thinking about.
