Crushes you to death more like...
I try to make sure that I make my peace with people every day, so a sudden exit from this mortal coil should not leave me feeling too sorry, but all told, I'd like to go out doing something monumentally heroic and to be remembered for that.
Rather than for doing something amazingly stupid, which seems to have been the story of most of my adventures so far.
At the point of orgasm on my 100th birthday as Nigella Lawson rides me to death seems way more appealing.
And on what grounds would you have her exhumed?
From what ive personal experience from the sudden death of my mum, and a good freind, and the long and prolonged death of my dad and an aunty,ansd a freinds mum where they where just left in a care home room, with management who just saw them as a cash cow, to bring profits to the buissness,with staff who couldnt speak english, but where cheap to employ,where everything had to be paid for,as an extra, despite paying 450 per week plus a state handout.
I would just want to die suddenly, one day im here, next im not,and hopefully someone will miss me.or probably not.

You are Charles Saatchi and I claim my £5
it IS worth pondering, especially for the people you will leave behind e.g. kids/partners. My parents are elderly, I've got (I'm a single child) all the details on the funeral, invites, who gets what etc etc and what solicitor it's all registerd with, it was (IMHO) a very hard and emotional conversation, however having seen the crap caused (and my mum was a nurse as well and she saw lots) where that's not fully decided or undocumented I think it's a great idea.
I hope my parents go from lucid and happy to dead (and I hope the same for me), they were both incredibly active and outdoory and I hate to think of them hurting and not enjoying life.
Gusamc +1. my point zigzactly.

An important question is: How old will she be then?
"If you only had 5 minutes to live....
Who would you call ?
What would you say ?
And why on earth havent you said it 🙄 "
I keep my affairs in order by remembering that ^
Life is too short and can be taken at anytime, I dont want anyone left wondering how I felt about them.
I`d want to go without pain and at peace with the world
want to die when im still young whitest high on drugs riding my bike
Woody, "....and it is the prolonging of life through advances in medicine, to the point of necessitating care for every function, which is unnatural".
Yup - that's exactly what I was trying (and failing) to put my finger on. I see little value in keeping folk alive just for the sake of a pulse (and £800 a week...). Lots of pain, zero pleasure (my Grandad in his rare moments of lucidity tells me he's, "Not at all happy", and does it with a smile on his face as if he's embarrassed by this state of affairs).
Thanks, you have reminded me to clear my browser history before I ride home tonight. You never know 🙁
preferably doing something i enjoy.
-spectacular crash whilst on the bike, eg. falling off a cliff, so long as it's a quick death. in fact, i always carry paracetemol/iburoprofen when riding. i think ~10 is enough to overdose so if it's a bad crash i could OD.
-sex
-drugs
-lion/shark attack
-hit by a speeding road safety campaigner.
-in my sleep.
Whatever, nevermind.
I'm just not going to die. Easier that way for everyone. I'm going to get on one of those spaceships that the scientologists bang on about and live up there with the cocoon aliens.
Seriously though, why think about dying, unless you commit suicide you can't really do much to avoid it/get a choice on how you go so don't think about it, it'll make you mega depressed 🙁
This being the interweb and not real life, Nigella will be besotted with me and will forever look like this.

It's a great question. I am in the "making people live longer" business and I know lots of people who have useful and happy lives into their 80s and 90s and then die suddenly. I have also seen some great deaths of younger people. But I do see a lot of people - mainly women - get older and more bored with life and suffering from FTD - Failure to Die - and they actually say they aren't depressed but would rather not wake up tomorrow..
For me, I'd like to have recently seen my kids and hopefully their kids too, and then die suddenly skiing.
Or be shot aged 80 in flagrante post orgasm by a jealous husband.
Post orgasm?
Would pre orgasm or on the cusp not be better?
At least you'd still be enjoying yourself!
Fair point. Two secs after.
Reappearing a good 45 minutes after you'd been left for dead and saving the day by calmly and with great precision piloting your hot-air balloon over the rocket silo, holding yourself erect and shielding your eyes wistfully from the dazzlingly glorious rising sun as blood trickles down your gripping knuckles over the weave of the basket, and grey-jumpsuited minions run around sharp and angular corridors in panic and the foaming mastermind tries to stop the automated launch sequence, and the brass section sweeps in on the soundtrack
Although this sounds awesome, my favourite is..
2009: Sergey Tuganov, a 28-year-old Russian, bet two women that he could continuously have sex with them both for twelve hours. Several minutes after winning the $4,300 bet, he suffered a heart attack and died, apparently due to having ingested an entire bottle of Viagra just after accepting the bet.[191]
Or doing anything that is preceded by the words, "Hey guys, watch this..!"
Or both.

Really isn't worth considering to be honest. Both have their benefits, neither is something I'd want so why waste time thinking about it?

Errr you can, you can make sure you don't die doing anything stupid like driving too fast or MTBing too fast or any sort of dangerous sports, or eating too much etc. You have an aweful lot of control over how you die and when, it's just that you might get a surprise before you expect. However since generally I feel more alive when doing stupid/dangerous stuff - I'd rather enjoy the feeling alive and risk the death than fend off the death at the risk of being bored TO death.
Maybe a heart attack, doing the long downhill part of the Taos South Boundary trail in a big ring, full crank, hair on fire kind of ride--completely believing that Olivia Wilde is waiting for me at the bottom!!!!
As Neil Young sang "better to burn out than to fade away"

You'd better get taking the mind altering drugs then 🙂
With my luck, just as I expired as they were carrying me away, I would see Olivia Wilde really was waiting for me!!
I think to go quickly and unexpectedly must be awful for the family left behind. Long and lingering is not nice either. The grief of families saying goodbye to their loved ones is probably the most awful thing I've ever heard though.
i think like anyone,to die quickly/painlessly as possible.have heard that there is a gas that some terminally ill people (i think) can take to end their suffering.it's like nitrous oxide or something.anyway by all accounts,if you breath a quantity of it,you go to a high euphoric state,before dying painlessly.i'd like some of that when my time was up.p.s did not mean this to sound cold,just being direct/to the point.

A friend of mine had a call in her old job to say her manager had died; while on top of his wife, mid thrust. It was his wife who rang my friend to pass on the news and bless my friend, she is awesome - she actually had the balls to reply 'at least he died happy'. I was very proud of her 8)
Wasn't there some story about a young woman who died mid 'self exploration' with her toy by her side? That is definatley the best way to go I reckon so I'd probably bagsy that if I had to choose. Then you die happy but don't have to distress someone by flopping out on them mid way through 😀
I see more people die than anyone else on here, unfortunately or fortunately, and my take on it is to get on with the living stuff and let the dying happen when and how it will.
i am having a procedure on my heart in october.
it carries the risk of four things that you do not want to go wrong.
one of the things, if it happens causes certain death.......... 🙁
i hope i live to rot into old old age.
Having lost my Mum to cancer earlier this year, I'd have to vote for a quick death.
Yes, it is a bit morbid talking about it, but as others have noted, it's best to make sure your affairs are always in order.
On a lighter note, I'd vote for the Nigella option too!
I'm not really fussed how I go, but I am very curious. Old age, an accident, murder, illness...all very exciting.
I'd like to go like my grandad, in his sleep, suddenly and instantly. Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Post of the thread so far.
"I see more people die than anyone else on here"
Serial killer eh?
