Flying across the battlefield in Brutal Legend, on the Crucible of the Titans map, when I was unlucky enough to fly over an anvil at just the wrong time. The Titan brought his hammer down and smashed me about 300 feet across the level.

There was a physics bug when I played(maybe fixed by now) where pseudowolves would launch you in the air when they attacked you from too close,to the point where you could be sent 2 or 3 times in the air when fighting a single pack.
Anyways,at one point,I saw one of those fast little balls of hate and fury running at me.No biggie,I take out my shotgun with dart rounds and let that baby do her work,but the wolf got too close and,predictably,sent me soaring in the air.Unfortunately,I was running backwards before it made my fly away,so I was launched at an angle,falling graciously in anomalies.
I was torn apart by 2 or 3 whirlwigs.To the uninitiated,it's an anomaly that lifts you in the air,makes you hover about 1.5 meters above the ground,starts spinning you,then just rips you apart.No escaping that,just slow death.

Okay, THIS one scared the shit out of me. At one point in Red Dead Redemption i was given a hunting challenge to kill a bear with my knife. I started off from the trading post near the mountains and was following the train tracks when out of nowhere a bear spawned and killed my horse. While i'm getting up, a SECOND bear appears out of nowhere and shoves me onto the train tracks, where the train immediately ran me over and instantly killed me.
I swear i'm not making this up, the bears ambushed me then pushed me in front of a train. I knew they were very smart animals but GODDAMN.

Near the end at the marker, where the Nicole hallucination and the marker try to 'stop' you or assimilate you or something and you're taken into the insane demented world. If you fail to kill Nicole if and when she grapples you, Isaac awakens in reality and spears himself through the head with a Javelin... his eyes get wide and dull, his mouth is left slack open and he collapses, eyes rolled into the back of his head... yeeesh.
The part where you have to stab yourself in the eye. If you fail it, well.....
Jeez....I had to stop for 5 minutes after that.....
Every free-roaming Spiderman game: Swing up to the top of the Empire State Building, swing even higher from the tip of the needle, and hammer drop all the way down.
I can nearly feel the crunch of the impact as he hits the ground

OT. Um, probably either a Garrador impaling me through the face in RE4
Orrr probably on Burnout Revenge, jumping and soaring from a destroyed overpass, landin on a functional highway, colliding with a semi, creating a huge pileup exceding 100 cars, and finally exploding in a gloriously catostrophic fireball....
I miss Burnout....

I just barely scraped out of a really hard boss fight in Final Fantasy 5... then I took three steps before healing and got killed in a random encounter. Then I looked at the title screen. Then I cried.
Cant think of any in particular. Usually games with ragdoll effects get pretty memorable deaths.
Btw, the title of this thread reminded me of this:

I got mobbed by Cazadors in New Vegas. Multiple times. Deathclaws are nothing, at least you have a big target.
Three come to mind and all three are from the Dead Space series.
There is this one
This one
And lastly, this one
Trust me, when I first saw them, I cringed a little.

Far Cry 2... The barrel of my gun just decided to snap when loads of guys were shooting me in the face. Twas not a good day
Also some of the later trials in Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney should deserve a mention when you have 3 pages worth of evidence and no idea what to present... Can be pretty broodle

The only one that comes to mind (besides the obvious Dead Space deaths) would be one of my deaths in Spider Man 2. I was fighting Doctor Octopus in a warehouse, and this electric field managed to knock away my last inches of life. But that wasn't the only thing it did - it flung my lifeless body all over the huge room, bouncing off everything for around 30 seconds before it finally came to rest on the lower level of the room.
I was speechless.

Most brutal? I don't know, but I can tell you my most Awesome one.
In was in Oblivion and was fighting my way to the top of the spire to take the sigil and I had gotten to the top level (just before you enter the sigil keep I think).
One of the Xivali (I think is what they're called) performed an epic power attack that threw me backwards and off of one of the thin bridges, where I proceeded to fall to the bottom and land in the pit of lava and die.
