Worst way to die?

Drowning is rather peaceful. Once you inhale the water your struggle ends and for me it all went blank. I woke up on the side of the pool puking up pool water.

story time! thats crazy man... I came close to drowning once, big (relativley, not like tahiti or something) wave surfing in Hawaii... it was right out of a movie, life guards on ski's, people watching from the shore etc. went to the beach, it was pouring down raining. huge waves crashing at the shore. I wait for probably 10 minutes planning my strategy to get out to the break. finally head out, first white water hits me.... get tumbled pretty bad. up paddling hard. second one hits... much slower getting my board back, and getting back up to speed. get a little further out, and boom... a big wave/white water, hits me...

I go down pretty far (no idea how far really, but Im guessing 15 feet under?) and start looking around... it's PITCH black. nothingness. first time in years of surfing that I thought I was in trouble. Im scared to swim the wrong way so Im just hoping the ocean gives me a direction. sure enough, after awhile, Im looking around and see the smallest glimmer of light. I paddle hard for the surface. barely get there... short story long, I caught that next white water in, let it throw me up on shore, and as I am getting up, I look back out to the ocean. The lifeguards had radioed one of the ski's and he was looking for me where I went under. Felt like I came pretty close that day.

back to point, I think fire would be bad. but really, anything with a struggle in front of it... battling not to drown, etc.

Drowning is the absolute worst way to die in my opinion...

what makes it worse is what you're drowning in............Used motor oil, used 75w90 gear oil...some other nasty fluid...or corrosive fluid...urrghhh


I'd rather burn to death than drown...at least burning will eventually burn off my nerve endings....drowning just sucks.


Or like quick sand sort shit...drowning in semi-wet sand....fuck that

ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease)

My first thought.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Deterioration of the nerve cells and muscles. Takes about two years.

In front of your children/wife/family.

Dying pretty much any way you choose would suck, IMO.

In front of your children/wife/family.

I was thinking the reverse, where you go last.

I can tell you from experience that burning to death would not be pleasant. The burning the nerve endings out doesn't help while they are burning.

I'll admit, drowning is not much better. I got caught in some seaweed and came close once. It was very scary. The burning was much more painful.

Drowning and burning have always freaked me out the most.

After having my dad die in a fire back in December, though, learning that he was knocked out from the smoke before the fire touched him was a comfort, and that smoke will get you fast as shit.
