New Second Worst Way to Die

So, I read an article in National Geographic and I have a new runner-up for worst way to die. Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a genetic defect that eliminates its victims' ability to sleep. The symptoms usually set in when the sufferer is in their 50's and tends to last about a year before the individual inevitably dies from lack of sleep. Apparently, these unlucky brains contain freak proteins that attack the thalamus (aka brain part) inhibiting the ability to sleep.

How one dies from lack of sleep science has not figured out (perhaps the underwater robots with diamond saws will teach us), but they do know that the mortality rate for FFI is 100%. Only 40 families worldwide are known to suffer from the genetic plague of FFI, so don't start a bucket list if you can't fall asleep after a Golden Girls marathon (RIP Rue McClanahan). But it, along with ninjas, is a perfectly good reason to go to bed scared every night.

This is why FFI is now officially second on my list of worst ways to die. The first of course being a tripartite, raptor-style attack by giant cobras that spit flaming Great White Sharks that have TVs fused to their spines playing re-runs of Sex and the City. What tops your list of worst ways to die?
