jfields 0 #1 June 20, 2002 If you had to die a slow death, what would you want it to be? Nothing quick, and especially not burning in, because skydivers would all pick that.Which Slow Way Would You Want To Die? Drowning Freezing Burning Starvation Thirst Bleeding Suffocation Don't ask my why I asked this question. I have no idea, other than that it popped into my head. And to some people's dismay, I'm NOT thinking about trying anything myself. Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottbre 0 #2 June 20, 2002 Bleeding seems to be the best way, unless you like pain. If you bleed to death you just slowly lose consciousness until you "fall asleep". You just don't wake up.The 4th paperclip didn't say much, but I could tell that it was still the smartass of the bunch... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinkster 0 #3 June 20, 2002 I almost froze to death once in the sawtooth mountains in idaho and it was actually pretty pleasant. Eventually u stop shivering and u start to actually feel warm and get numb to it and u can't think very well anymore. The only unpleasantness would be getting frost-bite on areas dispraportionate to the rest of your body. That sort of feels like your outer skin is crunchy hard ice and is annoying. Luckily I made it out with no permananet damage except my hands react to the cold worse now I think. (or it could be just me) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jfields 0 #4 June 20, 2002 QuoteIf you bleed to death you just slowly lose consciousness until you "fall asleep". Supposedly freezing is kind of the same after the initial shivering. As for some of the other options... maybe some people like pain, but I sure wouldn't want to go that way.Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites rhino 0 #5 June 20, 2002 Where is the being screwed to death by a young female when you are 80 years old???Damnit...

One of my motto's now is "get wet = u die" so always wear layers and wicking stuff and all that jazz. It doesn't matter that much in many conditions but when the stuff hits the fan it can get ugly fast without proper precations. I think some of us were just complacent about it and that's what got us, the weather wasn't supposed to be that bad.
