This. x 5

Or no, x 4. The drawn and quartered entered my mind also, but then I figured...who does that anymore?

Unless I somehow managed to get hung up in the saddle, then got my neck and arms caught up in ....well...something.

Shark or that, either way I dislike the idea of ripped apart.

On the last day of January, 1630, 'Lieutenant-General' Pietersz was taken out to be 'broken from under upwards, and the body put upon a Wheel.'

Breaking on a wheel, as it was generally known, was the most painful and barbaric method of execution practiced in the Dutch Republic and was, in effect, a form of crucifixation. In Pietersz's case the condemned man, stripped to a pair of linen drawers, would have been led out to a scaffold on which had been assembled a huge cart wheel— still fitted with an axle— a bench, some ropes, and a thick iron bar. He would have been lashed, spread-eagled, to the bench and positioned so that the executioner had easy access to his limbs. Taking up the heavy bar, and with great concentration, this man would have proceeded to smash the bones in the prisoner's arms and legs, starting with the fingers and the toes and working slowly inward. The aim was to completely pulverize each limb, so that when Pietersz was lifted from the bench onto the wheel, his upper arms were broken in so many places that they could be twisted and bent to follow the circumference of the wheel, while his legs were wrenched backward from the thighs, forced right around the outer rim, and tied off with the heels touching the back of the head. The latter operation was difficult to complete without allowing the broken femurs to protrude, but a skilled executioner took pride not only in ensuring that his victim remained fully conscious throughout the operation, but also in crushing his bones so thoroughly that the skin remained intact. As a further refinement, it was common for the condemned man's ribs to be stoved in with several further blows, so that every breath became an agony.

Once the grisly operation had been concluded, Pietersz's wheel would have been hoisted upright and the axle thrust deep into the ground close by the scaffold so that the Stone-Cutter's final moments could be witnessed by the assembled crowd. Death— generally as the result of internal bleeding— might take hours; in a place such as Batavia, the dying man's pain and distress would have been exacerbated by the cloying heat and the swarms of flies and mosquitoes that would have filled his eyes and mouth. The strongest men sometimes survived into a second day, and Pietersz, a brawny army veteran, may not have lapsed into unconsciousness until the early hours of February 1630.

This is a riveting account of history's bloodiest (and possibly least known) mutiny. I have only encountered one such sickening and horrifyingly graphic account of being "broken on the wheel" before— that being the 1707 execution of the Livonian nobleman and patriot Johann Reinhold von Patkul at the hands of Sweden's Charles XII detailed in Robert Massie's Peter The Great. I have never forgotten Massie's horrific description from the day I read it.


 
1. Dishonorably
2. Buried alive
3. Drowned
4. Prolonged illness
5. Heart attack on the toilet

absolutely the same list for me

#5 made me burst with laughter in my office. :- D but is still on my list

I would exchange #1 with -
1. after being tortured by a sadistic maniac.

1) Getting my head cut off by cowardly jackass terrorists while I'm still alive (esp. When one of the camel fuckers is taping it for posterity).
2) Awaking to my wife slitting my throat (saying, "Maybe you should have done more housework you lazy good for nothing bum!). --> Right up there with having one's dick cut off. But John Wayne Bobbit has taught us not only is that not fatal it could lead to a porn debut.
3) Dying in one of the Twin Towers slowly through smoke inhalation, knowing there was no way out.
4) Dying slowly by gas gangrene after stepping on a shit spike in'Nam.
5) Getting kidnapped while on a beach vacation and having my organs harvested from my body while I was still alive.
 
1. after your children
2. unloved
3. unremembered
4. alone
5. by wasting disease
 
1. drowning
2. burning alive
3. gettin shot to death
4. decapitated
5. torching someone with a blade
 
Anything to do with slow and painful is a bad way to go IMO.

Wasting disease would be my number 1. Give me the shark. It'd be a quick death. You wouldn't even feel your arms and legs come off. :)
