The only other most badass way to go is having a bear push you into one of those boiling acid pools at Yosemite.

Ah time for my least favorite story of all time. https://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/hotspring.asp quote:The hot springs found in abundance throughout Yellowstone National Park’s thermal areas are bubbling cauldrons of steam and boiling water, most of them hotter than 150°F, and many of them in the 185°-205°F range. I think this story has been posted in this thread a couple of times now but good God I cannot think of a worse way to go. ETA: The Chicago Tribune's version of this story adds a couple extra gruesome details. Depressio111117 has a new favorite as of 09:12 on Nov 9, 2017 |

I'm assuming they were dating or something because diving into boiling water after a friend's dog is not something you'd normally do.

I'm sure he didn't know it was boiling water, and an almost certain death sentence. Watching a dog die in front of you would be pretty terrible and a your natural instinct would be to try and save it.

So he thought the dog was dying in regular temperature water? I agree that he probably didn't know how bad it was actually gonna be, but he had to know there was danger involved in it.

Actually the most badass way to die is taking eleven wolves with youquote:Cochrane was employed in trapping animals when he was attacked by a large pack of timber wolves. When searchers arrived at the horrific scene they found the bones of Cochrane's body, a rifle with a broken buttstock, and the bones of eleven huge timber wolves. Seven of the wolves had been shot and four had been clubbed to death by Cochrane's rifle buttstock. The remaining wolf pack overwhelmed Cochrane causing his death.

Yeah and a small dog will be overwhelmed by it faster than a grown human. That said, also, I am going to be honest, those pools don't look even close to how hot they are. They don't steam nearly like you'd expect for something as gruesomely hot as they are, and apparently there are one or two the park service used to let people bathe in, I don't know. It's a bad and gross way to go.

The worst way to go was probably for Hisashi Ouchi who received possibly the largest dose of radiation for a human ever and was kept alive, against his will, for 83 days. There are some pretty gruesome pics in that link so be warned. quote:As his condition worsened, he was transferred to University of Tokyo Hospital and, reportedly, underwent the world’s first transfusion of peripheral stem cells. He was also given many blood transfusions, fluids, and medicine that wasn’t even available in Japan yet. He also had to undergo several skin transplants which couldn’t help the loss of fluids through pores. After being treated for a week, Ouchi managed to say, “I can’t take it any more… I am not a guinea pig”. However, the doctors kept treating him and taking measures to keep him alive, which only ensured a very slow and very painful death.

It works for me. I like this chromosome picture: One method of post-accident dosimetry is to take a blood sample, separate the lymphocytes out of it, add phytohemagglutinin (you can get it from red kidney beans) to induce the cells to divide, then add a dye so you can see the chromosomes under a microscope. Then you look at individual cells and count how many messed-up chromosomes there are, and after you get a big enough sample to get a good average you can compare the average to data and determine how big a dose the person was zapped with. The main way that radiation damages cells is via DNA damage. Radiation doesn't harm many types of cells in your body, but anything that dies and is replaced on a schedule can be harmed. This includes a bunch of cell types related to your skin, intestinal walls, hair, and blood cell production. If radiation zips through the DNA and breaks both sides of the strand close together, the DNA can come apart. It can stick itself back together, but sometimes it will stick to something else or stick back together incorrectly. This results in hosed-up chromosomes. Any cell that has messed-up chromosomes will not be able to reproduce. This is bad because a big enough dose that kills the reproduction of too many cells will have consequences when your existing intestinal lining, blood cells, etc. die and are have no replacements waiting. This is why radiation has a lead time before symptoms appear and why the symptoms manifest as bloody diarrhea, low blood cell counts, sunburn-like skin damage, hair falling out, etc.. Here's a picture of a chromosome sample with a couple of standard chromosome aberrations:  Just one aberration is enough to kill a cell. The number of aberrations from cell to cell may vary, which is why you need to take a large number of counts and average them. If you have an average of 3 aberrations per cell, as in a lot of your cells look like this picture, you probably got hit with a lethal dose in the excess of 10 gray. Compare that to Ouchi's chromosomes and you can see that while the 3 in this picture are slightly messed up, all of his are unrecognizable edit: It's awful that he suffered so much but the only way you can get data is to study people who get huge doses in accidents so hopefully what was learned is used to save lives in the future BattleMaster has a new favorite as of 02:56 on Nov 10, 2017 |

PetraCore posted:IIRC he was in a medically induced coma and as far as they could tell was not in any way aware for those 83 days. I wouldn't think it was ethical to keep someone alive, awake, and aware for that period of time after a horrible accident with incurable wounds just to get medical data from them, but that's not what they were doing. It's still unsettling, but it's not quite so horrific, thank god. I hadn't studied that particular case in depth but supposedly he asked to die at some point so he was in a bad state for some time before they did it.
