Well I was alone in my living room for Rainbow Six and My sis was watching me one of the times I was playing R:FoM and decide to talk smack, the maggot.

Falling into the silo on countdown right after getting a kill, so that the victim could see me fall in on the killcam.

Bet he laughed :D

Both of the following occurred in CoD4 multiplayer:

Trying to throw a grenade through a window, only to miss and have it bounce off the window frame and explode in my face.

Trying to go down a ladder, only to move backwards too quickly and fall to my death, three stories below.
I tend to hold the grenade too long and have it explode in my hand...

That ladder on the Crash map is a pain in the ass. I've fallen to my death from that tall building far too many times.

Playing Peter Jackson's King Kong (I forget the rest of that ridiculously long title). I was in a cave, and a bit spooked after fighting several megapedes with nothing but spears. I saw a bridge that led to the exit and ran straight across.... Bad idea. The bridge was surrounded by spiders. Swarming spiders, the size of a person's head. I was promptly treated to them scurrying across my scream as my character yelled in pain. I hate spiders, so getting swarmed by them was.... unpleasant. I panicked and fell off the bridge to my death.

Grenades. I'm a master of using grenades but they also seem to be my weakness considering how often I've put hot shrapnel into my face.

Also I'm far too lemming-like in games with edges. I like to drive vehicles very fast off jumps and such but I generally end up upside-down or plummeting 5,000 feet.

Me too, but I once got an awesome kill by running in with a cooked grenade and screaming at people until it blew up. Fun times with suicide bombing...

Hitting that Goomba in World 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. Everybody makes it over the damn thing and it pisses me off if I am a little off my game and miss the jump.

I have two really dumb deaths that I can remember at the moment.

I was watching my friend play Resident Evil 2 and she was controlling Sherry(however you speel her name) through a tunnel with bugs. I asked the brilliant question of "I wonder if Sherry limps when she goes into caution."

Sherry doesn't limp because she doesn't go into caution. She goes from Fine to Dead. We hadn't saved in an hour and a half.

The other death was when I was playing Silent Hill: Homecoming.

Alex's house had just went Otherside and very large monsters now populated the entrance hall. I didn't catch my shotgun in time to reload in the menu screen. I still had half my health, so I figured I could to a little abuse.

The monster got to me and ripped me in half.

In Call of Duty 4 when I attempt to throw a grenade through a door and accidentally hit the door frame, which then bounces the grenade back into my face and I die a sad little death.

Mass Effect, I walked into a wall, it glitched, I died.

Also, a rat with a gun shot me in Max Payne. Dang pimps and their cheese!

The first game I ever played was Battletoads on NES, so naturally I became used to killing enemies by punching them. The 2nd game I ever played was Super Mario Bros 3 and I must have been killed at least 10 times while trying to punch the very first goomba. Embarrassing.

While playing WoW.
I was a Dwarf Paladin, in the olden days when it meant much suffering, slow progression, and almost no attacking virtues.
I met another player and we decided to take on a Troll temple to finish quests we were both doing on our mauled own. We did not even have similar quests and could not share them.
We were 2 or 3 levels lower than the average of the inhabitants of the place. All yellows and oranges.
We went up, and the word slow cannot convey the degree of protracted progress (progress sounding already sarcastic within this mention) we experienced.
We finished his quests some 4 hours later, and commenced mine.
We reached the top of the place and found the Troll-ess that had to be dispatched.
We circled in with such care for a misbegotten approach would be cataclysmic, since we could ill afford ANY kind of extra aggro.
With all antagonists but the Troll Witch dead I jump on top of a stone altar to wait for her. Click without noticing on some thing laying on the stone block.

I only discovered it was a captured Orc Shaman, obviously there to be rescued in a Horde's quest, when it started pounding brutally on me, after I had clicked the wrong button while it was selected and I had begun hitting it instead of only inspecting it.

The domino effect is needless and cruel to recount.

Every drowning death. Because the game never tells you if your character can swim or not (except Psychonauts). You always have to go, "gee I wonder if Tommy Vercetti can swim." Then you hop in and die the dumbest death possible.

Halo 3 : "I wonder if you can rocket jump like in Team Fortres.. No.. you can't"
Saints Row 2 : "I bet my re-enforced sports-car could take on a train.."

On the last assault place in Mass Effect, where you are against those turrets. I got under some cover, (chest high, so he ducked) and had about 0.5 cm of my head sticking out.

The turret hit it exactly.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
This happened about five times.
Then I said 'SCREW IT' and sent all my people in for a suicide charge against them.
Surprisingly, it worked!

Red faction gureilla multiplayer, another player ran past me and turned around swinging my hammer which hit a gas tank, the resulting explosion sent me flying into the air.
