Stuck on himself
| Seems a cave diving incident would rank up there. You get lost or stuck while you contemplate on the fact that you have an hour until you run out of air and drown...30 minutes...10 minutes... |

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 |

| Anything besides being in a warm bed with a warm woman.
You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

| I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned that classic medieval torture, "the turk." If you don't know, I do not recommend looking it up. |

Serenity now!

| I went to college at the University of Florida and spent many a leisurely weekend tubing the Santa Fe river while camping at Ginnie Springs. Camping, drinking, hanging out with friends...good times. The area around Ginnie Springs is famous for the cave system that many scuba divers come to check out. Some of the best cave divers in the world live near this particular cave system. I had the unfortunate coincidence of diving on a weekend where a recovery tool place. A cave diver got turned around, lost, ran out of air and died. The state of his fingers and the note to his family written on his slate were enough to convince me that I NEVER needed to do any cave diving.

| I'm in the middle of a Tom Clancy book where a prisoner get a lethal succinylcholine injection under his big toenail and died a pretty agonizing death. Can't get that one out of my head. There's another one in Without Remorse, where Clark tortures and kills a guy by putting him in a decompression chamber and then raises and lowers the pressure to give him a lethal case of the Bends. And then one about getting shoved into a crematorium while alive. The stuff nightmares are made of.

| Well, obviously, torture.
Besides that, I think cave diving would be utterly horrific. Buried alive. Drowning while under ice. |

Exceptional Circumstances

| Burned alive. I almost drowned once and while I was terrified I wasn't in any real pain. The slightest burn hurts like hell and I cannot imagine my whole body being subjected to that type of pain.

| Burned. My G-Grandfather went that way. |

Go ahead punk, make my day
| Either Burned alive or trapped while death comes - IE, slowly facing drowning, suffocation, etc.
As long as it's quick, it's fine. |

| We all die alone, regardless whether someone else is present. I'm thinking that any wasting disease is pretty awful. When there's no hope, no chance.
Sure, beheading, immolation, flaying are all horrible but dementia? THAT SUCKS! |

Yeah, pretty bad. Part of the reason the last pistol round was for myself while flying over Afghanistan & Africa. Like that Soviet SU-25 pilot in Syria who was shot down. He fought the savages off as long as he could, then pulled the pin to his last grenade while holding it. |

Think late stage ALS/MS. Or Metallica's "One".
As terrifying/painful as these others would be, they're at least comparatively quick.
Ulitmately, yes, that would be the worst. For an acute death, fire has to be bad.

| I've been to several torture museums in Germany and France. Worst way to go I saw there was where they stretch you out on a table and put a starved rat on your stomach and cover it with a bottomless steel cage. The rat can't chew through the cage, so it burrows through you to escape and you get to watch it all.

| Oh, and Google "Unit 731" and have a read. It was set up in an old saw mill and they called their victims "logs."
