Stupidist Death

In Just Cause 2, I was trying to use the grappling hook to pull a snipe off of a guard tower, but my aim was slightly off. I hit the tower, thus pulling myself towards it, right up to where the sniper is, and when I'm about a metre out he shoots me in the face.
I managed to turn a possible stupid death into a win yesterday, though. On MW2, I thought I had claymores equipped. I went to a spot near a target, looked at the ground, pressed RB - and it turned out I had semtex equipped. So I ran, and an enemy just happened to run onto that spot and get blown up. I really hope he watched that killcam.

yeah but running away ended in me going deeper in to the town and finding like a thousand more...fanklok said:
Resistance 2, I fired a rocket right into a pillar that was right in front of me. Then on the next playthrough, I tried to throw a grenade over a chest-high wall I was crouching behind, only to realize that I aimed too low. The grenade bounced off the wall and killed me.
Always the ones where I'm the cause of it. -_- Those are the worst, and make you feel like a complete moron.
Though, there was one time where my friends and I were all together playing a shooter. One of my friends doesn't play shooters (actually, she hardly plays games at all) but she liked the fact that when you shot various things, it left marks. Like in the walls and things like that.
So, we were in an elevator and she wanted to see if she could shoot out the light. Well, she was low on health and one of the bullets ricocheted back and killed her. >.>
It was pretty darn funny, though. Stupid, but funny.

Explosives.
Artillery fire, grenades, RPGs, mortar fire, you name it. But grenades have always done the stupid thing of bouncing straight back to me offering me a hug before exploding and killing me.
EDIT: Oh, and sticky- or rocket-jumping in Team Fortress 2, but it's much more fun to die.

This. Oh God, this. I never--NEVER--farmed Diablo in Hell mode for the sole reason of Oblivion Knights.Aylaine said:
Also, trying to snipe a raider in one of the Metro tunnels in FO3, backing slowly into a bathroom while in scope mode to get a better shot, unintentionally activating a tripwire, and getting killed by a falling cow leg. There's something particularly emasculating about watching your body get torn in half, slow-mo, by a giant chunk of beef.

...Wait, seriously? Why the hell didn't I ever get a glitch that cool?
SatCom arrays are pretty fun for that end too.Hollock said:
Pride obliterating death?
Destroying Sephiroth at the end of FFVII and then accidently attacking my own character in my excited button mashing, thus destroying him and causing a game over.
Fail.
Stupidest death?
Running into the first goomba in Super Mario Bro's.
It's been 17 years and I *still* do it.
I hate myself.

The original Mercenaries, on the PS2.
I was low on health and armed only with two mediocre machine guns. And I was being attacked by a helicopter. I was down to a tiny sliver of health and very nearly clean out of ammo when I finally managed to pump enough lead into the chopper to destroy it.
And as I stood there triumphant, gloating over my epic victory...
...the flaming helicopter wreckage fell on me, killing me instantly.
