u shoulda made this a poll. I would rather drown. burning is too painful. Just ask Jimmy Nakayama.

On Nov 15 1965, during the battle for the Ia Drang Valley in Vietnam, Jimmy Nakayama and another man were accidentally hit with napalm during a misplaced air strike. However, PFC Nakayama was burned the worst, and when they tried to pick him up by his legs, the skin fell right off. He died two days later at an Army hospital. He was just two days shy of his 22 birthday.

Although it would initially hurt when you get burnt prolonged exposure I think would sear your nerve endings and pain receptors so after a short while you wouldn't really feel anything. Even so I think drowning would be my choice. You should make a 3rd choice with freezing or hypothermia. I would probably rather freeze to death than the other two.

I remember that from We Were Soldiers. Good movie but that part was kind of gruesome. He also had a newborn baby too.

EDIT - I just noticed there wasn't an actual poll added in.

Drowing or burning to death, you pick getting shot..... ok then.

I would rather drown. I have had my hand on fire, that was bad enough. Just the thought of my entire body been on fire, my body parts falling off, yuk. Drowning wouldnt be so bad. If you know you are going to drown, just drink the water, easier than going through the pain of trying to hold your breath.

I heard a story about a cop who got in a car accident. His car set on fire and his head was just a head, no features to it. His nose melted off, he lost an eye, his ears melted off. It was horrible to see, thr thought of the pain is just sick.

Drowing all the way..... if anything.

I'd rather drown, but I also remember that part from We Were Soldiers. That was a great movie but yeah that part, I never really have enjoyed watching people get burned like that.

I would definately rather drown burning is way too painful. But drowning is just as bad, it hurts a lot too.

Gee, I guess drowning , because my preffered choice ( if given ) is to be mauled by a giant Great White Shark.

There would be no pain just the shock of a life time.

I would rather drown. The pain is short. When you burn it hurts so bad. It lasts a while and you suffer.

I wish you could die by both of these in socom.

Someone tell him how to make this into a poll (he doesn't know, and I know this because we know each other) so that we can get some numbers up in here. NUMBERS RULE!

Now for my choice. I would probably prefer drowning. With fire you don't know how long it will take (if at all) for you to lose all feeling, but if you were to drown, wouldn't you pass out before you actually die due to lack of oxygen? Or would you be alive the whole time? Either way, I'd pick drowning.
