Actually GRRM brings back dead characters too like frankenstein Clegane or Catelyn Stark. A few characters also obviously have plot armour, the plot won't really go anywhere if characters like Tyrion and Daenerys bite the dust. Arya Stark has the fabled my-wife-will-divorce-me-if-I-hurt-her armour.

GRRM just set a good precedent with Ned Stark and reinforced it with the Red Wedding. He kinda cheapened the latter though by bringing back Catelyn from the dead.

I think everyone that claims GRRM kills off all his main characters and the like just got confused because it took the series a long time to make clear exactly who the protagonists were. Now that we pretty much know the main characters, it's pretty obvious who has plot armor, as you point out here.
