would u rather burn to death or freeze to death

Freeze, you'd fall asleep and then just die.

Burning to death involves not getting any oxygen and choking to death.

I don't know what the discus has to do with this question, but I'll choose hypothermia over most other accidental sudden deaths. Burning to death is probably last on that list.

+1. I hate the cold but this is easy.

Actually it depends - how long are we talking? Instant, as in being blown up in a bomb explosion vs falling in a vat of liquid nitrogen, or more prolonged such as being caught in a burning down building vs hypothermia/exposure?

It will be a cold day in hell when I burn OR freeze to death.

Can I be microwaved?

Getting caught in the gears if a combine now that's how I wanna go

You could burn to death without choking to death for lack of oxygen.

Like pouring molten metal over someone.

You'd die of heatstroke, shock, loss of blood or decomposition of body parts.

In any event, freezing to death is better.

Ha!

I think the OP's question needs more info. Being frozen to death in absolute zero would be quick and easy. Burning to death in a thermal nuclear blast is also easy. It is the long slow stuff on both sides that would really suck.

I want to be crushed by a steel coil falling off a truck. But it has to crush me real quick, like stepping on an ant.

20 minutes of body on fire vs 4 hours of freezing to death. take ur pick.

It depends what you mean by burn to death. Most who die in house fires die of smoke inhalation, but hardly all. Many die in their sleep without ever feeling much of any pain.

4 hours of freezing to death.

this article is very good at describing the feeling of freezing to death. while unpleasant, if you can run a fast marathon i suppose freezing to death is not unbearable

physiology folks,

can your blood still freeze if you are breathing warm air?

hypothermia is just frozen lungs. not frozen blood vessels.
