So… how do you want to die? I mean, if you could choose that is. Not many people want to die, but none of us want to die in a horrible, prolonged or painful manner. So in all of our best interests, we here at HowStuffWorks researched hundreds of scenarios that could kill a person dead. And from that investigation we’ve determined the 4 absolute worst ways to die.
Maybe you think falling into molten lava is like the end of Terminator 2, and you’ll just slowly sink as the heat disintegrates your body. But actually the relative density of lava means that if you jump into a volcano you will land on top of the lava first and then burst into flame. Researcher Richard Roscoe tested this in 2002 by filming what happened when he threw a 66-pound (30-kilogram) bag of food into a volcano in Ethiopia. The lava crust was slightly dented, but while the bag burned it caused a fountaining of violent flaming spit.
The internet loves animals, because they’re cute and cuddly and also they will kill you and eat your face without a second thought. Like cats. Pretty cute right? The big ones will usually chomp on your neck to suffocate you before eating you. But jaguars? They bite through the temporal bones of their victims’ skulls to immediately disable their brain. Hyenas don’t even provide that courtesy. With human victims they’ll pounce on you until you’re prone and then start eating you, even if you are conscious.
But wait… no fate could be worse than… The Tub! No… not the one in your bathroom. The ancient Persian Empire had a torture device like a covered wooden tub, so only your head was visible. Once inside they’d smear your face with milk and honey, causing flies to swarm there. Then they’d force feed you so you’d helplessly fill The Tub with excrement. Maggots would then hatch inside and devour you alive!
There are probably worse ways to die than being crushed to death, but we can’t really think of them. Death from crushing can occur in several ways. There are crowd crushes, where so many people are packed into a space that the collective pressure can prevent the lungs from functioning properly, leading to death by asphyxiation. And then there’s the crushing death via good old structural failure of organs, like, say the brain. This was a favored method of India all the way up to 1947. The condemned was made to lay his head on a stone and an elephant was led to step on his head until the person was squished to death. Guh.
Now that you’ve heard our top 4, what way would you least like to die? Dismemberment? Plane crash? Let us know in the comments. But before you do, consult our original article for the “10 Worst Ways To Die” on HowStuffWorks.com and subscribe to our channel for more What the Stuff madness.
