What way don't you wanna go?

    Guess what! You're gonna die some day.

    Right, now that's out of the way I'd be interested in hearing the event(s) you'd like to avoid when it comes time to meet your maker.

    Personally the #1 thing I want to avoid is for a jumbo jet plane to crash on top me while I'm inside a building. Something about the idea of hearing it but not being able to see it coming freaks me out.

    So what's your #1 way that you don't wanna die?

    I don't fancy being stabbed, eaten by a shark, or drowned.

    Getting run over by a Ferrari wouldn't be too bad :D.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,558 ✭✭✭netwhizkid


    Possibly a heartattack while making passionate love to a gorgeous woman, that would be a funny way to go. Another honorable death would be dieing while saving someone else usually a hot chick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,731 ✭✭✭el rabitos


    i'd have to go for an attack from white shark , or maybe the whole 9/11 option...u know, having the option of burning to death or jumping out the window of a skyscraper THEN only for the building to collapse around u and take away ur 2 options....that'd fix u good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Gazza22


    It would be nice if i die without pain..

    Though drowning or suffocation would be a nightmare [/Shivers]


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    murdered, drowning, falling down stairs, car accident.........in fact I dont wanna go at all

    i think drowning would be a case of giving in as itd be so all engulfing.

    My fear is probably by some kind of slow torture.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,154 ✭✭✭Oriel


    Drowning, fire, anything slow where you know it's going to happen.
    I fancy jumping out of a plane instead...something with a bit of a thrill, you know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭grimloch


    Anything where its not nice and sudden. I also am not mad on the idea of expecting my death so to speak.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭Stompbox


    Id hate to be in a situation like the ones seen in SAW. Id also hate to be eaten alive

    Being chased by a rabid farmer with a roaring chain-saw, floppy hat and wellington boots through a forest up a hill I don't have a clue where I'm running to but he knows all the paths cos he lives there and he's got red mad crazy eyes, and he's catching up because I've just eaten a large dinner and I've got a stitch, then I trip over the root of a tree.

    That or the stabbing scenario previously mentioned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,078 ✭✭✭theCzar


    I don't wanna be burned! please!

    that or be fed toes first into a mincer.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 151 ✭✭Macka


    Boiled alive, crucified or bleeding to death from a burst artery (I remember my biology teacher telling me that the blood shoots up a couple of metres in the air due to the pressure in the arteries *shudder*)

    I don't wanna go by tempting fate and stating something horrible here only for it to happen soon afterwards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,440 ✭✭✭Dizzyblabla


    I don't want to go slowly... nice fast death, or in my sleep or something, but I don't want to know it's coming...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    I don't want to die the way Romano died in ER... with a helicopter falling on top of me. I also wouldn't like to die of a heart attack while having sex...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭Stompbox

    Daddio... You sure can paint a pretty picture.

    Buried alive would be my one.. That would be so frustrating.

    I had this nightmare once, that there was this length of barbed wire being pulled between my legs.......... funny to laugh at.....but I sure as hell wouldn't wanna die THAT way... :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,370 ✭✭✭Fionn


    had a gun put to my head by a very convincing individual,
    also been fired upon - small arms and HMG and once by artillery rounds 155mm HE (not a nice feeling)

    i'd like to go in my sleep please :)

    if not, the heart attack while having sex seems like an ok option.... just can i finish off first? ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 342 ✭✭treefingers


    anything but buried alive please!

    something more interesting than old age.

    This should have a poll. Loads of people said they would hate to drown, and the more unusual one; to die of a heart attack while having sex

    As for me, drowning would be my fear.
    Quick and pointless, thats way I wanna go!

    Dying while having sex???
    Think of the person you are having sex with!! Not really a nice experience for them!

    Would hate to burn alive myself, or be tortured and die a slow and painful death... or worse even, have a heart attack after discovering the bloke I am havin sex with died during it :eek: :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12 keano11


    I would hate to drown in a frozen lake, that Stella ad sums it all up for me, been trapped under a sheet of ice looking for the hole you fell into!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,366 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    I came very close to drowning once (lungs had filled with water) when I flipped a canoe and couldn't right it. It was actually incredibly peaceful. No fear of it at all...

    Personally my own most feared would be fire or anything involving torture...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,174 ✭✭✭D


    Buried alive, drowning or suffocating, you sitting/lying there all alone in the dark waiting to die... of course I intend to live forever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    I nearly drowned in a SCUBA diving accident a few years back. It's really something I'd like to avoid in future. It was pitch black, icy cold, and very frightening.

    Actually, I'd love to get back into diving...

    You're going to hell for that one.... I'm not really afraid of dying. I mean, as the OP said, it's going to happen some day. The less pain and fannying about the better. Tbh I'd be more scared of surviving some horrific life changing injury, such as a double traumatic amputation of both my legs, I wouldn't like that very much. I don't much relish the prospect of being burned to death. What a morbid thread. If it was spectacular, fast, caught on camera and I wasn't in any danger of recieving a Darwin Award then it's all good. For example, this user walks into a building innocently enough and it's my bad luck that it explodes seconds later in the biggest gas explosion ever, and it all got caught on tape, now that's how I'd wanna go.

    Who fired on you with 155mm HE and why are you still here? Were you in the Leb or something with the PDF? I'm in the Reserves and we've done one live-fire exercise, now that's exhilerating! Just back from a two week exercise up against the PDF 5th Inf Btn and the rush I get from being in a pretty realistic combat situation is better than sex, I swear! Allumes, GPMG fire, thunder-flashes, the new .5 firing over our heads for effect on LIVE FIRE I might add... Loving it. Tar, gotta love the dying in battle thing. You get terminally wounded and left for the enemy to find, make sure you take the pin out of a grenade and lie down on the lever! Take as many of the fvckers with you as possible I say! Hehehehe. I took out a whole PDF platoon last Wednesday night with the MAG on a TEZ exercise. Just thinking about it gets the adrenaline pumping again.

    I wouldn't like to slip on a piece of fat in a supermarket and knock my head off the floor and die.
    That would be a crap way to go out, a stiff being carried out of Supervalu.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,731 ✭✭✭el rabitos


    You're going to hell for that one....

    yess!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 374 ✭✭IceHawk


    Leprousy, being buried alive, or being burned. Then again, senility isn't for me. I'd like to go before I lose my ability to function independently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,187 ✭✭✭GeorgeBailey


    I don't wanna die on the toilet. There'd be too much laughter at the funeral. I want tears... lots of tears!

    EDIT: And while I'm on the subject, I don't want one of those funerals where it's a celebration of my life. It's to be a mourning of my passing and there's to be no smiles.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 52 ✭✭Redneck_Rebel


    Well you know what they say "you are not supose to get tothe grave in a well preserved body, the way to arrive at the grave is at 90mph sideways and screeming OH ****"
    Well thats my perfect way to land in a boring box. By the way I want to go under with a bottle of potchine tucked next to me, Just in case!!!!!
