Trampled in a carosel?
How about falling out of the car and getting run over in Mr Toads wild ride? Best not to die, can't do much when you are dead.

I've always wanted to be killed by a predator: large felid, canid pack, crocodilian, snakebite or large constrictor, shark... I used to swim far offshore of Long Island beaches when in grad school, wondering if there just might be a great white cruising for mammalian prey in the vicinity. I've always wondered what a rattlesnake bite would feel like, altho I'm too skilled in catching & handling venomous snakes - & to chicken to actually allow one to bite me intentionally - to find out. Since it isn't very likely that I'm going to be taken out by a predator in a manner befitting the environment of ancestral adaptation, I suppose I'll just wait until I'm sufficiently decrepit COC: Threads and posts advocating suicide will be edited or deleted without notice.-FL Thanks for asking.

If I get to choose I want to die when I am so old there is no point in staying alive, but dying in a manner in which I will be doing the greatest good for all. I would volunteer to sacrifice myself for others* doing something heroic.

Dying in battle as the last man standing having killed the most and knowing I had made the utmost sacrifice for the most precious thing in the world and knowing I had succeeded would be the best scenario I can think.

* disclaimer: "Others" here mean people who I consider worthy of salvation. I will not sacrifice myself for fools and people who live dishonorable and meaningless lives, specially knowing that my sacrifice would ease or facilitate the continuation of their lifestyles.

Death by Madonna. Looks like sex and death are the people's choice.

Now I have to go up and spend an hour on the "depletion modelling" section as punishment for having "naughty thoughts".
