What is the worst way to die?

(Inspired by this: http://bartiforums.com/topic/6624409/4/#new)

In my opinion, the idea of sandpaper-room torture seems quite fun:

However, so are psychological means.

Dear god, we're all a bit morbid here, aren't we?

Hmm, worst way to die, I'd say a car accident, followed by a cross-section paralysis and a near vegetative state of being in a wheelchair that drags on and on for decades.

Or having to dig your own grave, and being forced in there without having been previously shot in the head or anything.

This.

Well, we can't all be astrological geniuses with paralysis, fortunately.

Being injected the black death, having to break open and evacuate the whole graveyard with your bare hands and constructing a coffin with the bones before putting yourself in it and waiting out the rest of the illness.

What a horrible way to both live and die.

Well, it's not much of either a life or a death, is it?

for me the worst way to die is when you had a talk-fight with some1 and it didnt end well and after that somethings happen and you know you're gonna die soon and you can never tell that person who you had talk-fight with that you love her/him and you didnt mean the words you said to her/him. for me it is the worst way to die. i really dont want this to happen for me. :-/ (+sorry for my bad English. im not good at it)

Yesh.
So neither living nor dying can be the worst way to live or die~

I suppose. The worst way would be a kind of inmortality spend in pain with no respite in sight. Basically... Hell.

Especially since you are aware of what's going on around you, but can't reach your environment.
It reminds me of the Greek legend of Tantalus' punishment.

Tantalus? Do you mean Tartarus?

hmm. Prometheus is the legend that comes to mind for me...

Yeah, I think Didi's right:

The immortal Prometheus was bound to a rock, where each day an eagle, the emblem of Zeus, was sent to feed on his liver, which would then grow back to be eaten again the next day. (In ancient Greece, the liver was thought to be the seat of human emotions.) In some stories, Prometheus is freed at last by the hero Heracles (Hercules).~Wikipedia

Tantalus was also an eternally punished figure from Greek mythology, cursed to stand in a pool of water below a fruit tree, with both the fruit and the water forever just out of reach.

What, couldn't he reach his toes?

I assume that he technically didn't need to eat, if he was cursed for eternity, otherwise he would just have died after a certain period of time.

Ha!!! This reminds me of the time I threatened to torture my alcoholic friend by strapping into a chair and keeping him juuust out of reach of peach schnapps.

Did you actually do it?

No way is the worst, always there´s a longer and more torturous way to die.

Like?
