I tend to think about the best way to die more in terms of being prepared for your inevitable demise. By being able to do so, death will pass much more "enjoyably" if you will.

I'd imagine some form of medication or medically induced death would potentially make for an easy exit. As others have stated, perhaps the gas and a bag. Kind of a shit view though.

There are a lot of terrible ways to die. Burning to death would be one I would like to avoid in my time.

I will say I nearly died at the end of the year.

Not to get too detailed but essentially a buddy launched, wrecked and rolled he and I off a 100' ravine when our vehicle slid off a road at high rate of speed.

Last thing after the initial flight, hit and flips was me looking out a windshield, solo and airborne as the ground was 30' straight down.

Everything went piercingly white in what appeared to be that same moment. Like total vision bright white with bright white streaks. Then everything went black, pitch black and totally quiet.

I woke up 20yrds away from the vehicle after what I estimated was a minute or so after blackout. My vision went from pitch black back to piercing bright white for another minute as my vision slowly tuned back in. I immediately tried to find my friend. He was dead further on the hillside. I managed get him back with some rescue breaths. It was fucking crazy.

He went from dead to what I thought was vegetable forever to just about to get the green light to return to a mostly normal existence with some new hardware installed.

The reason for that rant was because what had happened was I saw the ground coming. My mind probably couldn't process the speeds etc...

The vehicle impacted nose first and my head bounced off the windshield and I was ejected. The bright white and streaks was from the impact. The streaks I saw were the cracks in the windshield made by the side of my face and head impacting.

Through it all though, it would have been probably the most peaceful death.

It's so unlikely to think that something like that could end peacefully and yet...

Everything from that last 30' on just went. The adrenaline, the surprise and then the inevitable darkness.

I'm glad we survived and who knows how it could have ended up.

The thing I always heard and now understand better is when people say your body loves you.

Your body will do things in your moment of death that will make everything else irrelevant even if just for that final few moments.

A person should also understand that just because a body is doing certain things or seems to be going through the riggers of death. That doesn't mean that person is actually suffering. Their brain has most likely moved into processes that that person would be shielded from.

Fuck fire though. I don't want that.

That's an exciting 'live to tell the story'. Congratulations on making it.

Ricky Bobby feels the same about that fire shit too. Glad you made it.
