Would I rather die breathing bottled carbon dioxide, or burn to death? Actually given what actually kills most people in fires isn't the burns but smoke inhalation maybe I'll go with the bottle of CO2. What about freezing to death? Might depend on the OAT, if it's like 30 out that would take a long time to expire, but -50?
What a grim line of thought.
I believe freezing to death is considered one of the better ways to go, actually. My understanding is that hypothermia is painful to start but then you are numb and out of it as it progresses.
